Wolves: Pundits tip Rodgers for vacancy

Wolverhampton Wanderers are nonetheless trying to find a successor to former boss Bruno Lage, with Leicester Metropolis supervisor Brendan Rodgers having now been put ahead as a possible candidate to fill the emptiness.

What’s the phrase?

Talking on BT Sport, through Birmingham Mail, each Peter Crouch and Robbie Savage gave their backing to the concept of the Northern Irishman taking up the highest job at Molineux, with a substitute for the aforementioned Lage – who was sacked simply over two weeks in the past – nonetheless but to be confirmed.

Savage stated: “I believe if Leicester have been to eliminate him, and a Premier League job got here up, probably not a prime 4, 5 or 6 membership now, however anyone else… Wolves as an illustration. Simply say, if Rodgers wasn’t the Leicester supervisor, would Wolves (go for him)”, earlier than Crouch responded: “They’d take him in a heartbeat.”

The Previous Gold had seemingly recognized long-term goal Julen Lopetegui to tackle the position though the Spaniard subsequently turned down the supply attributable to household causes, with Queen’s Park Rangers head coach Michael Beale in addition to former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo simply two of the names who are actually being thought-about.

Managerial masterstroke

A lot of the discuss at current is about that man Nuno, with the 48-year-old having beforehand guided the membership out of the Championship, earlier than having fun with a outstanding spell within the prime flight which additionally included European qualification.

Whereas a preferred determine because of the work he had carried out throughout that gorgeous four-year spell, the jury is out on whether or not it will be clever to deliver the Portuguese coach again to the membership simply 17 months after his departure, with The Athletic suggesting that there’s cut up opinion over the knowledge of such a transfer.

The present Al-Ittihad boss had endured one thing of a irritating finish to his time with the Midlands outfit, with the sensation being that the connection had merely run its course because the membership secured an underwhelming 13th-placed end within the Premier League in the course of the 2020/21 marketing campaign.

As such it might really feel like a step backwards to re-appoint the previous Tottenham Hotspur boss, with turning to a recent face corresponding to Rodgers doubtlessly the higher possibility, significantly because of the latter man’s spectacular CV thus far.

Would you need Rodgers at Wolves?

Whereas the 49-year-old is at present struggling on the King Energy Stadium – with doubts over his future after seeing his facet decide up simply five factors in ten league video games thus far – previous to this season it had largely been a story of success with the Foxes, having overseen a first ever FA Cup triumph for the membership again in 2021, in addition to a subsequent Community Shield success.

That point within the Midlands had come following a glittering stint in Scotland with Previous Agency giants Celtic, memorably guiding the Hoops to a outstanding unbeaten home marketing campaign in the course of the 2016/17 season.

Previous to that, the Carnlough-born genius had narrowly missed out on the league title throughout his time at Liverpool in 2014, after ending simply two factors behind Manchester Metropolis, with managerial counterpart Jose Mourinho solely lately lauding the “amazing” job that he had carried out at Anfield.

Whereas there are but to be any confirmed hyperlinks to Rodgers at current – past the suggestion of Savage and Crouch – it will little question be a managerial masterstroke for the Wolves hierarchy to think about an method, even amid his ongoing turmoil at Leicester.
