BRENDAN RODGERS TO SAUDI: EX-CELTIC BOSS TAKES LUCRATIVE AL-QADSIAH MANAGER JOB
Brendan Rodgers has been appointed head coach of Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah, backed by Aramco. This move follows his acrimonious departure from Celtic and marks his first job outside the UK.
Brendan Rodgers is now the manager for Al-Qadsiah, a team in Saudi Arabia, after his time at Celtic ended dramatically.
Since leaving Glasgow in October, the ex-Liverpool boss has been without a job. His departure led to some harsh words from shareholder Dermot Desmond.
Even though there were rumours about Rodgers possibly taking on roles in the Premier League or Championship, he's now officially the head coach of the Saudi Pro League team.
Based in Khobar, Al-Qadsiah is currently fifth in the league. They recently fired their manager, Michel, and are owned by the Saudi oil company Aramco.
Rodgers will be working with a team that doesn't have many big-name superstars. The most well-known players are former Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez and Italian striker Mateo Retegui, who scored 28 goals in 49 games for Atalanta.
Al-Qadsiah’s CEO, James Bisgrove, mentioned that hiring Rodgers is a big step for the club. He believes Rodgers' experience and winning history show their goal of making Al-Qadsiah a leading club in Asia.
This job is the first time Rodgers has managed outside the UK. He began his career with Chelsea's reserves. In 2008, he managed Watford but struggled at first, only winning two of his first 10 league games. The team was close to being relegated but improved to finish 13th.
He then went to Reading, where he used to play, in 2009. He left after only six months by mutual agreement.
Rodgers had better luck at Swansea, where he helped the Welsh team get into the Premier League.
His success at Swansea led to him getting the Liverpool job. He almost became the first manager to win the Premier League with Liverpool, but his team, led by Luis Suarez, finished just two points behind Manchester City.
Unfortunately, Rodgers couldn't keep up that level of success, and he was fired in October 2015, with Jurgen Klopp taking his place.
After Liverpool, Rodgers moved to Celtic and had immediate success. He won a domestic treble in his first season and remained unbeaten. He won the league again in the 2017-18 season but left during the following season to join Leicester.
Returning to the Premier League, Rodgers nearly led Leicester to the Champions League but missed out. He did, though, win the club's first FA Cup, defeating Chelsea in 2021.
After a tough 2022-23 season, he left in April, and the club was later relegated.
Rodgers then went back to Scotland and Celtic after Ange Postecoglou moved to Spurs. After patching things up from his previous departure, Rodgers secured two more league titles but disagreed with the board about summer transfer plans for 2025.
He resigned after a 3-1 loss to Hearts, the league leaders. At that time, major shareholder Dermot Desmond accused Rodgers of divisive actions that created hostility.
DIEGO SIMEONE’S ATLéTICO FUTURE IN DOUBT AFTER TENSE MATEU ALEMANY FALLOUT
Diego Simeone’s future at Atlético Madrid is uncertain as tension grows with Mateu Alemany, and Inter Milan rumours gain momentum.
Spanish media is swirling with talk that Diego Simeone might be on his way out at Atletico Madrid. Hard to believe, right? This guy took over back in December 2011, turned the club into a real force, and even managed to win La Liga twice—beating out giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But here we are. Apparently, Atletico are weighing up Simeone's future. Sport says things have gotten tense between him and Mateu Alemany, the club’s new Director of Football. Simeone’s contract runs until 2027, but that relationship seems rocky. Atletico sit third in La Liga, trailing Barcelona by ten points. They just lost to Bodo/Glimt in the last Champions League group match and now have to fight through a play-off to reach the knockouts. Recent results have been rough, and transfer disagreements are piling up. It’s starting to feel like Simeone’s once-untouchable job is suddenly at risk.
There’s also the money. Simeone is one of the highest-paid managers in the game—€13 million a year. Only a few names earn more: Simone Inzaghi at Al-Hilal, Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, and, believe it or not, David Moyes at Everton. If Simeone walks away after this season, replacing someone with his status won't be easy.
Meanwhile, Alemany isn’t waiting around. He’s already looking at possible successors and has his eye on Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth. The catch? Iraola seems happy in the Premier League, but who knows—if Atletico come calling after all these years under Simeone, maybe he listens.
Looking back, you can’t overstate what Simeone’s done for Atletico. He’s delivered two La Liga titles, two Europa Leagues, a Copa del Rey, and a Supercopa de España. Add to that two UEFA Super Cups and two trips to the Champions League final. Four times, he’s been named La Liga Manager of the Year. That’s a legacy.
Still, Simeone’s never hidden his dream of coaching Inter. He played there from 1997 to 1999, and you can tell the place means something to him. “It doesn’t just depend on me, but I can see myself managing Inter one day. I think it’ll happen,” he said. He’s a huge admirer of their squad and their style, especially after recent games against Milan. “They play with personality and have a clear idea of how to attack. They deserved more. In the Champions League, the numbers speak for themselves. Two finals—they’re one of the favourites,” he added.
So, maybe we’re watching the end of an era at Atletico. Or maybe Simeone finds a way, like he always has. Either way, it’s hard to imagine the club without him.
MARC-ANDRé TER STEGEN TO UNDERGO SURGERY FOLLOWING SERIOUS GIRONA INJURY
Marc-André ter Stegen faces surgery and a long recovery after a serious injury at Girona, putting his 2026 World Cup spot in doubt.
FC Barcelona made headlines this winter when Marc-André ter Stegen, their German goalkeeper, left for Girona. He wanted more minutes on the pitch and had his sights set on making Germany’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. That was the plan, anyway.
But things went sideways fast. In just his second game for Girona under Míchel, Ter Stegen picked up a serious injury. Now he needs surgery, and he’ll be out for months.
After the news broke, Ter Stegen didn’t keep quiet. He posted a raw, honest message online, letting fans in on what he’s going through.
Here’s what he wrote:
Most of you don’t know me personally, so I want to open up a bit. I’ve always tried to stay positive—no matter what life throws at me. But this injury? It’s a tough one.
Last weekend, my worst fear happened. I got hurt during the match. I’d just arrived in Girona, and from day one, everyone here made me feel welcome. I was excited to help the team chase our goals, but now everything’s changed for me.
I won’t be out there on the field, but I’m not going anywhere. This group isn’t just a team—it’s like a family, and I’ve felt their support from the start.
As athletes, there’s nothing better than playing and training. Now I have to put that on hold for a while. I’ve decided to have surgery.
I’ll be back.
You can feel how much this stings for him. He’d just landed at Montilivi, already made his mark with the squad and fans, and now he’s sidelined. The timing couldn’t be worse, either. With such a long road to recovery, his World Cup dream is hanging by a thread. Even so, Ter Stegen’s message makes one thing clear—he’s not giving up. He’s determined to come back stronger, ready for football whenever it calls him again.
