Jamie Redknapp believes Brendan Rodgers should be managing a top club in England.

The Celtic manager is winning just about everything up in Scotland and rebuilding his reputation as a coach.

With plenty of doubt surrounding Arsene Wenger’s capability to take Arsenal forward, Jamie Redknapp has mentioned Rodgers as a possible replacement.

“Without a shadow of a doubt, he ticks every box,” he said, as reported by the Daily Record. “If you are a player, and I played at the top level, I’d have loved to play for someone like Brendan Rodgers.

“He’s the type of guy that looks you in the eye, he’s very confident and he makes you believe in yourself. That’s what you want from any manager – and tactically he knows the game.

“At Liverpool, he was harshly done-by, but these things happen and, once you start to get a few bad results, the crowd maybe start to go against you.

“That’s football, but it doesn’t make Brendan Rodgers a bad manager. He’s turned it around and shown everybody how good he is.

“I don’t know what Brendan Rodgers thinks and he’s managing one of the best clubs in the world. I don’t necessarily think he’s going to be looking to go any time soon, but if an opportunity comes in a couple of years, maybe that might happen.

“At the moment, I’m sure he’s happy winning trophies at Celtic and now, with Rangers back in the big league as well, it makes it a lot more interesting when they are going head to head. At the moment, Celtic are, of course, the team to beat.

“If you’re Arsenal in a few years, once Arsene Wenger decides to retire, if he ever does, I’m sure he’ll be on their radar. I hope the Celtic fans don’t have a go at me for that, but he’s that good a manager.”

Rodgers came close to winning the Premier League title with Liverpool during the 2013/14 season, mostly thanks to the form of Luis Suarez. Rodgers was unable to replicate the magic the following season, staying on as manager until October 2015 when he was sacked.

He became Celtic manager the following summer, and won the treble, going unbeaten the whole season in the process. His Celtic side remain unbeaten domestically.

There is still no indication of when Arsene Wenger will end his reign as Arsenal manager. At the very least, he’s contracted to the club until 2019. Any change before then seems very unlikely in my opinion.

Rodgers would be an unpopular choice, given his damaged reputation in English football. His philosophy, though, does match Arsenal’s, and he has demonstrated in the past the ability to build winning teams.

Rodgers is contracted to Celtic until 2020, having signed a four-year extension just last season.
