Paul Merson has said that Tottenham Hotspur manager target Brendan Rodgers would be the ideal appointment to take over the Chelsea job.
Even before the Northern Irishman was sacked by Leicester City, he was linked with Spurs in early March by talkSPORT, as he reportedly had admirers of his at board level.
While many believe that Brendan Rodgers would fit like a glove as the next Tottenham manager, Paul Merson feels the same if he joined Chelsea instead.
Merson says Tottenham manager target Rodgers should accept Chelsea job
With the ex-Swansea boss improving players that were far from glamorous at Leicester in particular, one can understand why he has been tipped to become a success in N17.
But instead of becoming the next manager at Tottenham, Paul Merson has explained why Brendan Rodgers would be a suitable candidate to manage Chelsea.

“I would like to see Brendan Rodgers in at Chelsea. Either Rodgers or Mauricio Pochettino, who would have to get off to a flyer at Stamford Bridge given his previous allegiances with Tottenham. If he lost his first two games, there would be mayhem”, he told Sky Sports.

“I’m a big Brendan Rodgers fan. Unfortunately, things have gone horribly wrong at Leicester. In football, it all comes down to timing and let’s be honest, if Leicester were where Brighton are now, everyone would be calling for Rodgers to go to Chelsea.”
“Rodgers ticks every box; he plays on the front foot, he started his coaching career at Chelsea and knows the club. But the timing of the Chelsea job coming up this time hasn’t worked in his favour, with him getting the sack at Leicester four hours before Potter was relieved of his duties.”
“Chelsea fans will question why they should turn to a manager who has just been sacked by Leicester, but if you look at the all-round picture, Rodgers is a good manager who has worked at top clubs like Liverpool and Celtic, won trophies at Leicester and put them on the brink of Champions League qualification. I just think Rodgers is the one.”
While Paul Merson has made an in-depth case for Brendan Rodgers to go to Chelsea, one can expect Tottenham to continue assessing whether he would make for a right appointment as their next manager.
