Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has signed a new deal at the King Power amid plenty of reports linking him with the Arsenal job. Rodgers took over at Leicester in February and has now put pen to paper on a deal until June 2025.
Rodgers has been strongly linked with the role at Arsenal with the Gunners having sacked Unai Emery last week.
Rodgers has impressed during his time at Leicester with the Foxes currently sitting second in the Premier League.
But the Northern Irishman is delighted to have guaranteed his future at Leicester.
Rodgers said: “When I made the decision to come to Leicester City, it was because I was excited about the direction the club was taking and how I could apply my experience to the journey.

“But just as important to us is the suitability of Brendan’s wider philosophy to the club’s established culture and values. He and his staff immersed themselves immediately, building an understanding for the club and the city and an appreciation for what makes them special.
“That has been a valuable combination over the last nine months – strengthening the bond between our players, staff and supporters – and I’m excited to see how it can continue to enhance our long-term vision for the club.”
