Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers as a possible replacement for Antonio Conte. The Italian is expected to leave the London side once his contract expires at the end of the season.
As per talkSPORT, Rodgers is the latest manager on Tottenham's radar. The Leicester City manager is on the verge of being sacked at the King Power Stadium as he has not been able to deliver.
Alex Crook had an update on Conte's situation and labeled it an unhappy marriage at Tottenham. He said:
"I do think now it's a question of when and not if Antonio Conte departs Tottènham. It looks a very unhappy marriage, his demeanour suggests he would rather be anywhere else. I think both parties know his contract isn't going to be renewed, I think the question for Tottènham and for Daniel Levy now is do they bring that decision forward to maybe try and save the season and secure a top-four place?"
Speaking about the possible replacements, Crook added that Pochettino is interested in returning to the club.
However, the club are yet to decide and are keeping tabs on Rodgers too. He said:
"In terms of Pochettino I've heard from more than one source that he's really keen to go back to Spurs and feel he's had unfinished business there. What Spurs want now after the Mourinho and Conte experiments is attractive attacking football. Pochettino would bring that. But the other name mentioned to me is Brendan Rodgers. Tottènham are also admirers of him. They feel his brand of football would go down well."
Brendan Rodgers comments on joining Tottenham
Brendan Rodgers has been quizzed about the possibility of replacing Antonio Conte at Tottenham. The Leicester City manager claimed that he was still focused on the Foxes and was not thinking of switching clubs.
He told the media:
"My only focus is here with Leicester. Every job that comes up, there will always be different managers speculated to go in. I have always said I absolutely love it here. Tottènham is a fantastic club, it's one of the big clubs in this country, it's a huge club. My focus is purely here."
Rodgers was at Liverpool after an impressive spell at Swansea City and then did a fine job at Celtic.
