A spate of bets have been put on the Northern Irishman taking hands at White Hart Lane after Pochettino, sending his price from the market crashing.
Just three days ago, Rodgers was 8/1 to succeed the Argentine at the North London club, although that’s been slashed into 7/2, making him the clear favorite.
Around 36 percent of all bets in the last 24 hours have endorsed to shooting over from Pochettino, Rodgers, which makes him by far the very endorsed in the market.
Meaning preceding favourite is overtaken by him.
Elsewhere, Massimiliano Allegri chimes in as the favorite for the task, followed by Englishman Eddie Howe.
Former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique follows next at 9/1, followed closely by Rafa Benitez (10/1), Thomas Tuchel (16/1), Diego Simeone (33/1) along with Carlo Ancelotti (33/1).

Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson:”Heading into Pochettino’s sixth time at Spurs, arriving fresh from the Champions League final and really producing some worthwhile additions to a severely depleted squad — couple could expect the Argentine to become under this much pressure just six games into this year.
“However, it seems that he is, and punters believe that Brendan Rodgers would be the guy to take more than him when he does decide to leave.
“Rodgers’ Foxes side have been cut out of 18/1 pre-season into only 5/1 to finish with a Champions League spot, exemplifying exactly how good a job he’s doing in the King Power Stadium. This is certainly one to keep your eye on.”
