Brendan Rodgers 'set to land Saudi Pro League job' just weeks after dramatic departure from Celtic

Brendan Rodgers is set to be appointed as manager of Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah, according to reports.

The former Liverpool and Leicester City boss, 52, has been free to speak to clubs after an unceremonious exit from Celtic in October.

Rodgers left Glasgow under a cloud after publicly scrutinising the Hoops hierarchy and their supposed lack of work in the transfer market, before principal shareholder Dermot Desmond branded him 'divisive, misleading and self-serving' in an astonishing broadside.

Now, the Northern Irishman is set to make a speedy return to the dugout and is already on his way to the Middle East as terms are finalised on a deal, as per The Athletic.
