And Commons, who was frozen out of the line-up when Rodgers arrived in 2016, believes the reason his former boss has taken the role is to land a bigger job in the future.As quoted by The Sun, Commons said: It wasnt that long ago that he was linked with theArsenaljob – thats the sort of thing that Brendan wants.I think he wants to be winning titles, being part of cup-winning teams.Whether this is a stepping stone, whether or not this is going to be a couple of years job to look at possibly the likes of an Arsenal, maybe aChelsea, I think thats more inBrendan Rodgersmind right now.Rodgers watched Leicester vs Brighton from the stands on Tuesday evening3

Although conceding it may be easier for Rodgers to land a job as a top six coach with Leicester, Commons was clear the Foxes post was not bigger than the job he had at Celtic Park.When asked if that was the case, he said: “Absolutely not, no. I think the English Premier League has played a huge part in Brendan going down there.I think Leicester have got a top coach, a top manager, a proven manager.But I think, for me personally, Brendans better than Leicester. I think hes proven that at Liverpool, hes proven that at Celtic. Rodgers was in attendance at the King Power as Leicester edged past Brighton 2-1 at the King Power on Tuesday evening, but his first match on the sidelines will be against Watford on Sunday.The 47-year-old insisted he was raring to go upon his arrival at the club.Rodgers has been given a three year contract as Leicester boss3
