Tim Sherwood has urged Brendan Rodgers on Premier League Productions to take the Tottenham Hotspur managerial role.

The former Tottenham manager believes that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy should do all he can bring Rodgers to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Sherwood has also urged the former Liverpool and Celtic boss to leave Leicester City for Spurs.

90min reported earlier this month that Levy is so keen on appointing Rodgers as the manager that he is willing to make him the second-highest paid boss in the Premier League after Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola.

Sherwood said on Premier League Productions: “For me, if I am Daniel Levy, I am going all out to get Brendan Rodgers.

“If I am Brendan Rodgers, I am deciding on the back of an FA Cup win, left them with something, put some foundations in place, I am flying the nest.”

Rodgers has done a wonderful job at Leicester.

The Foxes have won the FA Cup this season and could also finish in the Premier League top four.

If Leicester get into the Champions League places, then Rodgers will surely want to experience Europe’s premier club competition with his team.

At Leicester, Rodgers has built a team in his own image, whereas at Spurs, he could have to start all over again, especially if Harry Kane leaves.

Leicester are a stable and established club in the Premier League, but Tottenham are bigger.

Spurs were playing in the Champions League final not so long ago, and perhaps Rodgers could feel that he could take the club a level higher and actually win it.
