Spurs-Linked Rodgers Expresses Disappointment In Mourinho Sacking

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says he is disappointed to see Jose Mourinho lose his job as Tottenham Hotspur boss.

Mourinho was dismissed by Spurs on Monday after 17 months in charge of the club, with former player Ryan Mason taking his place on a temporary basis until the end of the season.

One of the bookmakers’ favorites to replace Mourinho in North London is Foxes boss Rodgers, who has led Leicester City to this season’s FA Cup final and in a good position to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Rodgers was a member of Mourinho’s coaching staff during the Portuguese’s first spell as Chelsea manager, and the Northern Irishman has expressed disappointment that his former boss has been relieved of his duties.

“Jose is a world-class manager,” Rodgers told reporters. “The thing which disturbs me a little is how it gets questioned. What he has done in the game, he should be able to position the expectations. He has earned that respect to be able to do that.

“You are not a world-class manager one day and then you go to a job and it doesn’t quite work out and you’re not. He is clearly a winner, he will always be a winner.

“I’m disappointed for Jose, I know him personally and know he is a world-class manager, he has shown that over his career.

“He is a manager who has won and unfortunately for him that hasn’t happened at Tottenham.

“Their expectation is to win titles and compete at the top end of the league. I have empathy for any manager who loses their job.”
