Former Premier League manager Lawrie Sanchez has exclusively told Football FanCast that should Brendan Rodgers keep Leicester inside that top six, he’ll be a sho0-in to eventually replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
Despite their failure to qualify for the Champions League once again, even though the Foxes sat inside the top four for almost the entire season, Rodgers guided the club to their first ever FA Cup success and another fifth-place finish.
His impressive work has seen him linked to the job at Tottenham, whilst he’s previously been mentioned alongside the Arsenal vacancy.
But he recently reiterated his desire to remain at Leicester and continue making the club top six regulars having led the club into the Europa League twice on the bounce.
However, if Rodgers continues to defy the odds, a so called ‘top-six club’ could come calling.
And Sanchez told Football FanCast that it could yet be Manchester City when Pep eventually goes.
“I wonder whether if Brendan is thinking strategically, a couple of years at Leicester, where he could go?
“Tottenham are a big club, Arsenal? Guardiola is going to do two or three more years at Manchester City, then that job will become available.
“He had a go at Liverpool and came close, but if he’s in the top six for the next two or three years and Guardiola goes, he’d be a sho0-in for it wouldn’t he, you’d think.”
