Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, former Leicester City striker Brian Deane believes Brendan Rodgers could be in it for the long haul at the King Power.

Premier League rivals Tottenham recently sacked Jose Mourinho, who will take over at AS Roma in the summer, sending them on a search for a new manager.

That search seemed to have taken them to Rodgers, but the 48-year-old quickly put a stop to things by declaring his intention to remain in the East Midlands.

And now Deane is hoping to see Rodgers cement a legacy at the King Power, a legacy that could include Champions League football and an FA Cup trophy.

When asked by FFC if Rodgers' long-term future is at Leicester having turned down a big club like Tottenham, the ex-Premier League forward said:

"I'd like to think that he's going to stay there. He's come in at Leicester and he's put his mark on it.

"You don't have to go to the biggest clubs to achieve massive things. It's more of an achievement for him to achieve something at Leicester than it is at Tottenham, believe me."

Speaking on the subject further, Deane also went on to add:

"He will go down as one of their best ever managers based on the fact that he's come in, they play the kind of football that they do and they've got a chance of winning a cup now.

"If I was Brendan Rodgers, I'd just be happy to sort of like cement your legacy where he is and hopefully he does that."

Indeed, Rodgers is on course to becoming a Leicester legend, something he could probably achieve this season with an FA Cup triumph at Wembley.
