Odds shortening on Brendan Rodgers to become the next Spurs manager

Three leading bookmakers have shortened the odds on Brendan Rodgers becoming the next manager of Spurs.

Next manager markets are notoriously volatile with a couple of bets coming in from different directions often seeing the odds collapse on any candidate.

Ange Postecoglou has been heavily linked with succeeding Antonio Conte by most of the Scottish media but Rodgers is a readily available candidate for the job with first hand knowledge of the English game and the issues facing Spurs.

The Irishman is familiar with the area having previously worked at Chelsea, Reading and Watford whereas Celtic is the first time that Postecoglou has held down a job in Europe.

Odds at 9.20pm on May 28.

After ditching Celtic overnight in February 2019 Rodgers took Leicester to fifth place in successive seasons in the EPL then won the FA Cup in 2021, the only time that Leicester have lifted that trophy.

Things went badly wrong this season for Rodgers this season but he still has a high enough profile to be of interest to Spurs- if he gets their managers job the loudest cheers will come from relieved Celtic fans.
