Former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is now odds on to leave the Leicester City job.

This is according to bookmaker Coral which has the Northern Irishman at 1/2 to be the first English Premier League manager to no longer be in the post this season.

Pressure has ramped up on the 49-year-old after his side went down 2-1 to Southhampton over the weekend.

This means his team are without a win in their first three competitive games while they have yet to make a summer signing amid ongoing financial concerns.

“We have seen strong support over the last 48 hours for Brendan Rodgers to be the first Premier League manager to leave their post this season," said Coral’s PR manager John Hill.

"The Foxes have made a poor start to the season, and many punters feel the club will make a change soon."

The former Liverpool boss left the Hoops to join Leicester in 2019 and during his time there has led Leicester to two top-five finishes and a FA Cup.

However, a disappointing season last year saw them finish eighth and they were knocked out of the Europa League in the group stages.
