Brendan Rodgers the man to answer dramatic World Cup SOS
Brendan Rodgers the man to answer dramatic World Cup SOS Brendan Rodgers could be on the verge of making a dramatic World Cup appearance as pressure mounts on current Saudi Arabia manager Herve Renard… The Frenchman tenure is increasing precarious with calls to sack him mounting after a terrible run of results including an embarrassing 4-0 home defeat to Egypt and a defeat to Serbia. Renard had previously left the Saudi Arabia job to manager the French Women’s team but returned within a year but has remained an unpopular choice in a country where sacking football manager’s is just as prevalent as here. And after the latest back-to-back defeat there are growing calls to remove Renard ahead of the World Cup Finals this summer to avoid what currently looks like a humiliating campaign according to commentators in the Gulf powerhouse.

Legendary Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Al-Deayea, who played in four World Cups and won a staggering 178 caps, has proposed a managerial change to happen before the World Cup Final and reckons that Brendan Rodgers is the only man for the job .
“How much longer can anyone defend Renard? He has not offered anything noteworthy,” Al-Deayea said as reported by Scottish Sun. “He left us for his women’s team and somehow we took him back again.
“The defeats are on him and reflect the mistakes of the Saudi Football Federation. I don’t understand why he is still our manager. We need a change in leadership and management ahead of the World Cup.
“The Federation should go to Brendan Rodgers immediately and immediately allow him to take over all the preparations for the World Cup. He is the coach we need. ” Saudi Arabia are paired with Uruguay, Spain and Cape Verde in this summer’s World Cup Finals.
