Pundit Jamie O’Hara is backing Brendan Rodgers to become the new Tottenham Hotspur manager after leaving Leicester City.

O’Hara has taken to Twitter to reflect on a bonkers day of managerial moves in the Premier League.

Leicester decided to part ways with Brendan Rodgers on Sunday afternoon, following a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace.

Just a few hours later, Rodgers’ former club Chelsea also made a move as they sacked Graham Potter.

Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa proved to be the end for Potter at Stamford Bridge, just seven months into the job.

O’Hara can now see a number of moves materialising, starting with Potter taking the Leicester job in a swift return to management.

O’Hara then thinks Rodgers will end up at Tottenham and Chelsea will land Julian Nagelsmann.

‘Defo gonna happen’ said O’Hara, clearly confident that his three predictions will come true this summer.

Daniel Levy is a big fan of Brendan Rodgers but Tottenham move is a risk

Tottenham will have certainly been looking at Rodgers’ new availability with interest.

Daniel Levy has been a fan of the Northern Irishman for over 10 years now.

Spurs appointed Andre Villas-Boas in 2012 but only after Rodgers – then of Swansea City – was targeted for the job.

Rodgers told The Times all the way back in 2013 that he rejected Tottenham in favour of becoming Liverpool boss.

The interest hasn’t exactly waned; TalkSPORT reported in March that Tottenham are still big fans of Rodgers.

Now available after leaving Leicester, Rodgers will present an interesting proposition for Levy and co.

This move would certainly be a risk though; there is a reason why Leicester have decided to sack Rodgers.

The Foxes have taken just one point from their last six games and are in danger of slipping into the Championship.

Going for a manager sacked from that situation wouldn’t exactly smack of ambition from Tottenham, and Levy will now have to weigh up whether now is really the right time to go for Rodgers.
