It would be quite a shock for Alan Brazil and Gabby Agbonlahor to see Brendan Rodgers leave Celtic and take over from Julen Lopetegui at West Ham. Lopetegui is facing scrutiny at the helm of the Hammers, who are currently in fourteenth place in the Premier League, just five points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Rodgers is on track to lead Celtic to another Scottish Premiership title and has secured some notable wins in the Champions League. The prospect of him leaving Glasgow for London seems unlikely, especially given Celtic’s success and Champions League aspirations.
During a discussion on talkSPORT, Brazil expressed disbelief at the idea of Rodgers moving to West Ham, noting the strong position Celtic are in. Agbonlahor chimed in, pointing out the Hoops’ European success and dismissing the possibility of Rodgers departing.
While Lopetegui’s position at West Ham is uncertain, replacing him would be a challenging task, particularly at this stage of the season. With Rodgers settled at Celtic and the Scottish club offering Champions League football, it’s doubtful that he would consider a move to the struggling London side.
As Lopetegui faces pressure to reverse West Ham’s fortunes, Rodgers is likely to remain focused on Celtic’s campaign and the opportunities that lie ahead in Europe. The idea of him making a hasty return to the Premier League seems far-fetched, considering his recent controversial departure from the Hoops and the potential for success in Scotland.
