Brendan Rodgers was appointed as the new Leicester City boss earlier this week – replacing the recently sacked Claude Puel.
Brendan Rodgers had been having a wonderful time with Celtic this season and the club were in line to win a handful of trophies.
But the former Liverpool boss chose to abandon all that and headed to take charge of a club who are right now struggling in the Premier League.
While many people have come up with many theories as to why Brendan Rodgers chose to move out of Scotland but talkSPORT host Adrian Durham has a rather unique theory.
“I think he’s[Brendan Rodgers] actually scared of Steven Gerrard,” said Durham.
“The fact that Rangers beat Celtic just after Christmas, that’s a worrying sign for Brendan Rodgers.
“It’s a little bit about bottle and a bit about managing your own career, but I think Gerrard has got him running scared a little bit and that’s why he’s coming to Leicester
“After what happened at Liverpool he couldn’t recover from when he came so close to winning the title [in the 2013/14 season]. They’re losing 6-1 at Stoke a year later.
“A few months after that he had to rebuild himself so he needed a relatively easy job for him by his standards, and Celtic was exactly that.
“All he had to do was be better than the previous manager (Ronny Deila) and that wasn’t hard.
“Domestically he’s achieved everything and as for this ‘treble Treble,’ it’s meaningless even for the most hard-boiled Celtic fan. It doesn’t mean a thing outside of Glasgow.
“For me, he’s got a last chance to prove himself. At Watford, he left under a cloud.
“At Reading, he was sacked after six months, had a great time at Swansea and took them up to the Premier League, got the job at Liverpool and then it all started to go wrong.
“This is the last chance for him in the Premier League to really gain some currency.
“His stock European wise was absolutely on the wane. He’s looking over his shoulder at Steven Gerrard as well”.
