Arsenal has to sign Brendan Rodgers before Manchester United or another EPL rival snaps him up according to Charlie Nicholas.
The Gunners recently sacked Unai Emery after 18 months as manager and have replaced with assistant coach, Freddie Ljungberg on a temporary basis.
As the search for a new manager starts, Charlie feels Rodgers should be the man, irrespective of his supposed ego issues.
His words, “The guy I said before Unai Emery got it was Brendan Rodgers.
“He makes players better. He makes average players better technically, he makes them mentally more aware.
“It’s not just that you can see that at Leicester currently. Everybody used to say ‘he’s won trophies at Celtic and it’s easy’. Of course it’s easy, but he did it with style.
“He took a few hammerings in Europe but can anyone honestly point the finger at Leicester at the moment and say he hasn’t improved just about every player there? It’s what he does.
“People talk about egos, I don’t care. He has earned the right to have a big ego and, for me, to be the next Arsenal manager before we miss out on him.
“We might even get to the stage where Brendan Rodgers goes ‘why would I want to go to Arsenal right now?’ Are Manchester not interested in him? Are other clubs not interested in him?
“Arsenal need to get a bit of leadership and togetherness now. If they are really serious about moving this forward and it on, then they must get Rodgers.”
