Ndidi, Iheanacho To Welcome Ambrose’s Former Coach

Leicester City duo, Wilfred Onyinyewn Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho might be on the verge to welcome to their club former Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers, who previously handeld Efe Amrose at Celtic of Scotland.

 

 

Sports247.ng can, however, warn that it could a wake-up call for Ndidi and Iheanacho, as Rodgers it was that forced Ambrose out of Celtic to Hibernian.

Ambrose has since also quit Hibernian, but the former Super Eagles defender would recall that his surge in Glasgow was truncated on the arrival of Rodgers at Parkhead.

The odds are now out for either a strong status for Ndidi and better playing time for Iheanacho, but that would depend on if they impress the man that is expected to take over from Claude Puel this month.

The story out of King Power Stadium indicates that The Foxes are said to be prepared to swing the axe should they suffer a third successive defeat when they travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers next weekend.

The club followed up an embarrassing FA Cup third-round exit at Newport County with a 2-1 home loss to strugglers, Cardiff City on Saturday, which increased pressure on Puel.

Supporters have turned on the Frenchman in numbers and a change of management at St Mary’s Stadium could be imminent, with Rodgers lined up to take over.

Rodgers is said to be eyeing a return to the Premier League after two-and-a-half years with Celtic, where he is on course for a clean sweep of nine domestic titles from a possible nine.

The 45-year-old previously spent close to four years with Liverpool, guiding the Reds to second place in 2013-14, while also managing Swansea City in the English top flight.
