Brendan Rodgers is reportedly a target for England.
The dust has barely settled since Liverpool chose to part company with manager Brendan Rodgers, but the 42-year-old is already being linked with moves elsewhere.
The Reds are looking for a new manager having ended the Rodgers era on Sunday evening, following a 1-1 draw against Merseyside rivals Everton.

Hodgson allegedly needs a run to the quarter finals at the very least in order to keep his job as England manager, and Rodgers is allegedly a target for The FA should they opt to go in a different direction.
Since the report was released, Reds fans have been reacting on Twitter to the notion of Rodgers taking charge of the England national team – and most are surprisingly supportive.
Many believe that, with no pressure in the transfer market, Rodgers would do a great job as England manager, where he can focus his talents on being more of a coach and develop players.
