Moyes on the wish list

Now, the former Manchester United manager, David Moyes, has emerged as a surprise candidate for the Scottish club if Rodgers makes a return to the Premier League.

The former West Ham manager had been contracted by the Hoops early on too.

Moyes even played as a central defender for the Hoops from 1980 to 1983.

Moyes took over the managerial role of Sir Alex Ferguson and couldn’t emulate the same set of results when compared to the legendary Scot at Manchester United.

Rodgers joined the Scottish side back in 2016 and has led the side to two trebles in consecutive seasons and has set his eyes on a third.
