Brendan Rodgers Sends Arsenal 'Clear' Message About Management Spot

Brendan Rodgers has sent a clear message to Arsenal regarding the vacant manager spot.

The former Celtic boss is not interested in leaving Leicester City any time soon as reports continue to link him to Arsenal.

The Gunners fired Unai Emery after the 1-2 defeat against Vitoria SC last week and are looking for replacements. Rodgers was strongly being considered after he impressively guided the Foxes to the second spot of the Premier League.

“Yeah, the message is clear and it has been and probably I’ll get asked again until they appoint someone, but it’s very simple. I’m very happy here,” said Rodgers.

“I made a choice nine months ago to come here for a purpose. The purpose was very clear in that I wanted to help this club move forward and looking to lead it forward with a group I feel has huge potential. Why would I want to move from that?

“OK, I moved after nearly three years at Celtic and people may look at me thinking: ‘Right, because a club like Arsenal, with the great institution and size, and all of that’. But it’s all about happiness and I couldn’t be happier here. My contract is until 2022 and the club haven’t said they want to release me from that.”
