Five Managers who may replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea

#4 Brendan Rodgers:

Brendan Rodgers is certainly no stranger to the Premier League, having spent time there in charge of Swansea and Liverpool.

It was the performances of his Liverpool side which put him into the limelight for the first time. He helped his team come close to winning the Premier League title but the last three games of the season ensured that they ended up in the second position. It was one of the best performances by Liverpool since the inception of the Premier League.

Despite coming close in that one season, the disappointing results in the next seasons saw him released from the club. The experience of the Celtic's boss at the helm of a top Premier League club and the time he spent at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho, heading the youth team means that he will be no stranger to how things get done.

His familiarity with the spirit and the defensive style of play in Chelsea makes him a possible replacement for Conte, who has admitted that he has frustrations with the way the club works.

Rodgers has said that he won't leave Celtic this summer, but with interest reportedly being shown from Chelsea, there may yet be a chance that he joins them. The size of a club like Chelsea might yet play a part in his decision.
