"The 52-year-old is yet to address Desmond's sentiment but is known to have been attractive to Saudi clubs. He turned down a move to the kingdom after leaving Leicester in 2023. Al-Qadsiah, who sacked their Spanish manager Michel at the weekend, have stolen a march on their domestic rivals by moving for Rodgers, who has been keen for a swift return to the dugout. He is expected to sign a long-term contract in the coming days at a club owned by Saudi oil giant, Aramco."
"You've got to give managers chances, O'Neill insisted. I think back to my own time at Leicester City, where I eventually enjoyed nice success. Can't win a game to save my life, crowd baying for blood and after 10 games. How lucky I was to win a couple of matches of real importance at a stage."
Brendan Rodgers has entered talks to become manager of Saudi side Al-Qadsiah after resigning from Celtic in October. Rodgers previously turned down a move to Saudi Arabia after leaving Leicester in 2023 and has been linked to clubs in the kingdom. Al-Qadsiah dismissed their Spanish manager Michel and moved quickly to pursue Rodgers, who seeks a swift return to management and is expected to sign a long-term deal at the Aramco-owned club. Rodgers won consecutive Scottish titles at Celtic but experienced transfer-market problems. Wilfried Nancy has lost his first three matches as Celtic’s permanent manager, prompting calls for patience from Martin O'Neill.
