Rumour Has It: Tottenham plot move to lure Leicester coach Rodgers

Speculation is beginning to grow around the vacant Tottenham coaching position after Jose Mourinho’s exit last week.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is on the hunt as Spurs try to return to England’s top echelon.

Spurs appear set to miss out on Champions League football for the second straight season.

TOP STORY – SPURS PLOT RODGERS SWOOP

Tottenham are planning a move to recruit Brendan Rodgers from Leicester City as their new head coach this off-season according to The Sun.

Levy is a long-time admirer of the former Liverpool coach although he reportedly needs to convince his fellow Spurs board executives after disparaging comments Rodgers made about the club years ago.

Rodgers has been in charge of Leicester since 2019 with the Foxes firmly in the hunt for a top four finish this term.
