Proven pedigree
As mentioned, Rodgers’ record at Celtic has been remarkable and he also earned plaudits for his time at Liverpool- where the Reds came the closest they’ve ever come to winning the Premier League title, before a slump at the end of the season ended their charge.
For that reasons, Rodgers will be keen to prove his worth in the Premier League and his guidance could be extremely good. He has the pedigree to get the best out of his employers and Newcastle need that sort of manager to take them forward.
