Brendan Rodgers offers Scott Brown quickfire return with Leicester coaching chance

The Leicester City gaffer has reached out to his former Celtic captain following his departure from Aberdeen to invite him down to the Midlands.

 

Scott Brown has been offered a quickfire route back into football by former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers rejuvenated Brown’s Parkhead career when he took over the Hoops in 2016 with many writing the ex-Scotland captain off.

And following the 36-year-old’s departure from Aberdeen, Rodgers has given his former on-field lieutenant an opportunity to join him at Leicester City.

The Foxes boss has been in contact with his former Celtic captain since he took the decision to hang up his boots earlier this week.

Rodgers has invited Brown down to spend some time with him and his coaching staff in the Midlands over the coming weeks.

It would give Brown a much-needed insight into top-level management as he aims to revive his own coaching career.

Rodgers has also vowed to help Brown get back in the game and to help wherever he can in terms of helping him to land a new role.

Brown decided to terminate his Aberdeen contract on Wednesday and will now take time to consider his future and his options with his family.

Brown has already been inundated with offers of support and help since he announced his playing retirement.

The 36-year-old moved to Aberdeen to be a playing assistant coach to Stephen Glass.

Brown, however, was left in an untenable position when Glass was sacked and replaced by Jim Goodwin, who made it clear there would be limited scope for him to continue to coach and even play.

The former Scotland star only quit Celtic and moved north to begin his coaching path.

He was heavily involved in all aspects under Glass but was left frustrated as he didn’t coach as much as he would have wanted due to his playing commitments.

Celtic would be willing to offer Brown the chance to return in a coaching capacity but that wouldn’t be in a first-team capacity and would be at under-age of academy level.

There has also been talk of Brown joining former Celtic boss Neil Lennon in Cyprus with Omonia Nicosia.

Lennon had wanted to bring in Mark Fotheringham as his No. 2 but there has been trouble agreeing to that deal.

The ex-Celtic boss could turn to his long-term assistant Garry Parker, even though they didn’t work together in his last stint at Celtic.

Youri replacement sorted then

[FoxesWalk]

If he can make our players a bit more streetwise then I’m all for it 

[Scotch]

An absolute cvnt of a man on the pitch. Could be exactly what the team needs. A bit of character and fire in the coaching staff.

Very good point. He was a brilliant leader on the pitch for them. I've said many times we are lacking a Jordan Henderson type of character. He's not Liverpool's best player, but he's a great captain for them.

 

Someone to rile the team up would be a good thing. Maybe he can help KDh find his voice, who I feel could end up being that sort of player given his high workrate and willingness to get stuck in, on top of genuine quality.

.....I do think he (Rodgers) needs a number two and posted yesterday that he needs to get someone in, he may have more tactical nous than Rodgers!!!

EDIT: I’m deliberately not going to edit this as it’s way more effective as I erroneously posted it in the first place!

The Scottish Vardy in terms of having away fans on strings.

It's not just about how he handled himself on the pitch but off it too.

 

Other than a few incidents of him being drunk when he was young, I don't recall too many incidents involving him getting himself into bother, and this is a man who had to listen to his dead sister being taunted by rival fans. Will always remember his support of Glen Kamara after the Prague game too.

 

A complete professional who can maybe teach our younger lads about how they should be conducting themselves

That explains the pinched, slightly pained expression he has these days, then

Exactly my thoughts.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Gerriimminnn. A bit of gamesmanship and aggression is exactly what we need.

Probably more than being able to understand this 

[Guest SO1]

All for it. Rodgers needs a bad cop.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

He looks like a nasty Russian 

[alanf0x]

For those that haven’t read past the second paragraph, Rodgers has invited him down to see how it should (or in some peoples eyes, shouldn’t) be done! He isn’t joining the backroom team

[Gazza M]

Nasty b*stard. I'm all for it. 

[SemperEadem]

Seeing a few comments saying they will give up their season tickets if he comes

[lcfc sheff]

Operation sign a bastard could be solved if he makes someone a bastard. My bet is on Soyuncu

Why?

 

If its because of the Celtic connection, then I'll dust of my old VHS's and show them a Leicester side managed by Martin O'Neil with Neil lennon in it winning the clubs first silverware in 34 years! 

 

2 of the most prominent Catholic green noses in the game. No one was handing in their season tickets that barmy night at Hillsborough!
