Rodgers named new boss of Saudi side Al-Qadsiah

Brendan Rodgers Rodgers has been confirmed as the new manager of Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah.

Rodgers, previously in charge of sides such as Liverpool and Leicester City, left Celtic in October after guiding the club to consecutive league titles in his second spell.
