Spurs will not give up on Rodgers and will try again if he doesn’t get Champions League football

Tottenham is refusing to give up on their bid to make Brendan Rodgers their next manager.

The Lilywhites have been without a permanent boss since they fired Jose Mourinho last month.

They have been on the lookout for a new one and Rodgers has been at the top of their list.

The Northern Irishman has been a target of Daniel Levy for a long time and he wanted to make him Spurs’ manager in 2012 before he moved to Liverpool.

He is now at Leicester City, who he just led to triumph in the FA Cup.

Rodgers looks settled in the Midlands, but Levy wants to poach him as he did with Mauricio Pochettino from Southampton.

Leicester is fighting for a place in the Premier League’s top four ahead of the last game of the season.

They have to beat Tottenham and hope that other results go their way before they can finish inside the top four.

However, Spurs need a win to get Europa League football and will not be doing them any favours.

If Leicester fails to make the top four, Sun Sports says Spurs will try to convince Rodgers to join them again.

The former Celtic boss would now have to decide which of the projects excites him the most between Spurs and Leicester.
