Brendan Rodgers using Leicester post as ‘stepping stone’ to Arsenal or Chelsea job, claims former Celtic star Kris Commons
Brendan Rodgers may be using the Leicester job as a ‘stepping stone’ to eventually join Arsenal or Chelsea in the future, former Celtic star Kris Commons claims.The Northern Irishman has been handed the King Power Stadium hot seat on a three year deal – with Neil Lennon replacing him as Hoops manager until the end of the season.3

Commons was frozen out of the line-up after Rodgers arrived

And Commons, who was frozen out of the line-up when Rodgers arrived in 2016, believes the reason his former boss has taken the role is to land a bigger job in the future.As quoted by The Sun, Commons said: It wasnt that long ago that he was linked with theArsenaljob – thats the sort of thing that Brendan wants.I think he wants to be winning titles, being part of cup-winning teams.Whether this is a stepping stone, whether or not this is going to be a couple of years job to look at possibly the likes of an Arsenal, maybe aChelsea, I think thats more inBrendan Rodgersmind right now.3

Rodgers watched Leicester vs Brighton from the stands on Tuesday evening

Although conceding it may be easier for Rodgers to land a job as a top six coach with Leicester, Commons was clear the Foxes post was not bigger than the job he had at Celtic Park.When asked if that was the case, he said: “Absolutely not, no. I think the English Premier League has played a huge part in Brendan going down there.I think Leicester have got a top coach, a top manager, a proven manager.But I think, for me personally, Brendans better than Leicester. I think hes proven that at Liverpool, hes proven that at Celtic. Rodgers was in attendance at the King Power as Leicester edged past Brighton 2-1 at the King Power on Tuesday evening, but his first match on the sidelines will be against Watford on Sunday.The 47-year-old insisted he was raring to go upon his arrival at the club.3

Rodgers has been given a three year contract as Leicester boss

He said: “I’m very privileged and honoured to be here as Leicester City manager and I’ll give my life to make the supporters proud of the club.“Together, we’ll be stronger and I’m looking forward working with the players, staff and supporters to make the right steps forward.”
