Brendan Rodgers heading for Middle East?

Former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has reportedly been offered a job to take charge of an unspecified Middle Eastern club.

Rodgers has been out of work since October after being fired by the Reds following a three-year stint on Merseyside.

However, the Northern Irishman could make a swift return to football after being offered a contract worth £10m by an outfit in the Middle East, according to The Express.

The 42-year-old is mulling the offer after already meeting with the club, but could be reluctant to accept the role after Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich shortlisted him as a candidate to succeed Jose Mourinho.

Liverpool were his fourth club after previously managing Swansea City, Reading and Watford.
