West Ham United have just appointed a new manager, but could Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers be at the London club in the future?
Arsenal? Tottenham Hotspur? Chelsea? According to former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan, it is West Ham United that would suit former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, who is currently in charge of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
According to a report in The Daily Star in April, Chelsea and Arsenal have been looking at Celtic boss Rodgers.
The Times recently asked the former Swansea City boss about a potential move to Tottenham in the future, while rock and roll legend, Sir Rod Stewart, suggested to talkSPORT in February that he would be great for Spurs when manager Mauricio Pochettino leaves.
According to former Palace chairman Jordan, it is West Ham that would suit Rodgers.
Jordan said on the Kick Off show on talkSPORT on Monday evening (9:43pm, May 21, 2018) while discussing Rodgers’s future: “I think he could suit Arsenal, but I think Brendan’s style is probably a little bit samey as Arsene Wenger and not enough of a departure.
“I could see Brendan at West Ham. I could see Brendan at West Ham because I think his philosophy of football would appease the fans.
His management-style, he would be able to handle Gold and Sullivan and keep them at arm’s length. And I think also he has got enough cache to be able to bring players in.”
West Ham United manager in the future?
Former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has just been appointed as the West Ham manager and Rodgers is not going to leave Celtic anytime soon, but Jordan’s comments are quite interesting and intriguing.
Leaving Celtic for West Ham would probably be a step down for Rodgers, but it would give him the chance to return to the Premier League.
The Hammers are an ambitious club, and the former Liverpool boss could relish the challenge of pushing them into the Premier League’s elite.
However, for now, Celtic fans should not worry about losing Rodgers, while West Ham supporters should look forward to life under Pellegrini.
