Rodgers has worked wonders for the club as they battle it out with the top guns in the Premier League for the title. Leicester are second on the points table with 35 points after 15 games that have been played so far. The Foxes trail league leaders Liverpool by 8 points but are ahead of defending champions Manchester City by 3 points.
According to David Ornstein, Rodgers has been handed a new contract by the club because of how the Irishman has overturned the fortunes of the club in just 9 months. Moreover the contract is to fend off interest from Arsenal who are immensely interested in the services of their manager since the sacking of Unai Emery.
