Rodgers backed for Tottenham job

Former Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is being backed for the job at Tottenham.

Spurs are seeking a long-term managerial appointment after Antonio Conte's departure last month.

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp would like to see Rodgers take charge.

"It might just be a little bit early for him [Ryan Mason] at Tottenham. And it feels like a Nagelsmann, or a Brendan Rodgers will probably be the options", Redknapp told the Essential Football podcast.

"They tried to get Rodgers a few years ago and he didn't end up coming but I wouldn't be surprised if they try to talk to him. He's out of work and I'm a big fan of Brendan Rodgers he's a good manager."
