9 candidates who can succeed Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager

Brendan Rodgers

Rodgers has enjoyed a hugely successful period in charge of Celtic

Unlikely to be a popular choice with Arsenal fans, Rodgers could be a good choice if Arsenal want someone in for the long haul and are prepared to give him time.

Rodgers has at times become something of a figure of fun but his record shouldn’t be sniffed at.

He did an excellent job at Swansea, taking them into the Premier League and then keeping them there playing a wonderful style of possession-based football.

He was ultimately sacked at Liverpool but only after taking them to within a whisker of their first Premier League title and he is now on the verge of winning a second successive treble as manager of Celtic.

This would certainly be an intriguing appointment were it to happen.
