Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers has been ruled out of managing Chelsea due to previous comments he made about the club concerning Liverpool's season-long loan signing of Victor Moses.
It looks as if Frank Lampard's days at Chelsea are numbered following a poor run of results, with four losses in their last six matches in the Premier League and winning just once.
Though Rodgers is doing a good job at Leicester City, the former Liverpool gaffer is unlikely to be considered for the Chelsea job due to anti-Chelsea comments he made six years ago that didn't go down well with Blues owner Roman Abramovich, Daily Express making reference to the Athletic is reporting.
Discussing Moses' loan move to Liverpool, Rodgers said : "It’s not easy when you come to a big club.
"You come from a really good club like Chelsea to a massive club like Liverpool, where there is expectancy every day."
"You come from a really good club like Chelsea to a massive club like Liverpool, where there is expectancy every day."
Rodgers has past ties to Chelsea as he previously managed their U18 and reserve teams between 2004 and 2008.
The Northern Irishman utilized Moses 22 times during the winger's loan spell at Anfield.
