• Rodgers left Celtic for second time in October

• Martin O’Neill says patience needed with Wilfried Nancy

Brendan Rodgers is in talks over a managerial return at Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah.

Rodgers resigned from Celtic in October, a move that proved the trigger for a stinging attack from the club’s main shareholder Dermot Desmond. The 52-year-old is yet to address Desmond’s sentiment but is known to have been attractive to Saudi clubs for some time. He turned down a move to the kingdom after leaving Leicester in 2023.
