Ipswich Town's search for a new manager has taken an interesting turn, with Brendan Rodgers emerging as a leading contender for the job. The former Liverpool and Celtic boss has seen his odds shorten significantly, with some bookmakers now pricing him at 7/2 to take the reins at Portman Road. Rodgers has a strong track record in the Championship, having previously managed Swansea City, and has been linked with the Ipswich Town job in the past. However, it's worth noting that Rodgers is currently under contract with Saudi club Al Qadsiah until 2028, which could make a move to Ipswich Town complicated. Meanwhile, Bodø/Glimt's Kjetil Knutsen remains the favourite to take the job, despite being due to undergo back surgery today. Knutsen's immediate availability is uncertain, which may have contributed to Rodgers' shortened odds. Other contenders for the Ipswich Town job include Gary O'Neil, Liam Rosenior, and Brian Barry-Murphy, all of whom are priced at longer odds than Rodgers.
