Brendan Rodgers is the leading candidate to become next Leicester manager following the sacking of Claude Puel. The Celtic boss is in Leicester to finalise a move, with the Foxes having axed Puel after the 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday. Rodgers is expected to return to the Premier League in the coming days, having overseen consecutive treble-winning seasons at Parkhead after joining in 2016. It now appears that Rodgers’ final game in charge of Celtic will have been the 4-1 victory over Motherwell on Sunday, leaving the Hoops eight points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.
