The last 4 matches have all been draws and losses, even before that, which has led to the home team at King Power being ranked 11th so far. The "Foxes" are in decline but it does not necessarily come from captain Rodgers because their force this year lacks in advance, lacking many times for good reasons.
There were many rumors last week that the English coach would be fired, but so far, Rodgers is still at peace. In the previous round of the Premier League, The Foxes were unlucky to lose a victory to West Ham. They then crushed the Randers 4-1 at home in the Europa Conference League.
That is to ease the recent tensions, but perhaps that is not enough for the "Fox" fans. If the result against Wolves in round 26 is bad, negative rumors will surround it.
Rodgers is the 9th highest-paid coach in the Premier League, the team he currently holds still has the opportunity to compete for titles in other tournaments outside the Premier League, as evidenced by the FA Cup title last season. This season, there have been 2 times when Leicester could take 5th place in the rankings but were unsuccessful.
This is a week that is a bit memorable for Leicester fans. This time 5 years ago, the club fired Ranieri when just nearly a year ago, the "Welding guys" excellently led the King Power team to the Premier League championship for the first time in history. Football has changed rapidly since then and patience has become less and less. The recent FA Cup title cannot be considered a insurance against Rodgers' safety even though Leicester consider them to have successfully stayed in the league.
Rodgers has been at Leicester for 3 years. Previously, he only worked at Swansea for 2 seasons. Coming to Liverpool, the third season only won an average of 1.63 points/match compared to 2.21 points/match the previous season. With Rodgers leaving Celtic in February of his third season, the team is earning 2.33 points/match, compared to 2.15 points/match last season. Obviously, whether good or bad, by the third season, Rodgers will no longer be in the team he is working for, or will be fired, or will find a new destination for himself. Leicester are fine but only need to lose about 3 consecutive matches, a phone call could take away Rodgers' seat at King Power.
The 49-year-old strategist is not a dreamer, otherwise, rumors about replacing Rangnick (Man United) or Pep Guardiola (Man City) have not come. Even when Tottenham sacked Mourinho, Rodgers had a very bright chance to take Spurs, but because of the rumors with the two Manchester teams, they could not make it to London.
Rodgers is one of only four managers in history to have won a domestic trophy for Leicester. He has brought Liverpool closer than ever to their first Premier League title in 24 years. Through Celtic, all titles in Scotland were also conquered. It has helped Swansea get promoted, introducing many excellent young players. This is a talented character but seems to be still struggling with his own third season at clubs.
There are many cases in the Premier League where coaches are very bad but are not fired. Rodgers has not reached that level but is at his own crossroads. It all depends on Leicester at the moment. The King Power team should probably be patient because who knows, when helping Rodgers cross the line of "the syndrome of season 3", everything will be more beautiful in the following year?
