Brendan Rodgers is one of several names to have been linked with the Leeds United head coach job, but according to the Sun, the former Leicester and Liverpool boss is set to take time away from the game before he jumps into a new role.
As well as links to Leeds, there has been speculation that the 50-year-old could be tempted into a return to Celtic following the departure of Ange Postecoglou, who has joined Spurs. This is reflected in the bookmakers' latest odds, with bet365 pricing Rodgers up at 8/1 to be Leeds' next boss.
But while Rodgers may have been classed as a front-runner for several positions, including Leeds, reports suggest he is set to take an extended break from the game, only his second since starting off as a manager at Swansea City 13 years ago.

The Northern Irishman previously took almost a year out following his exit from Liverpool in 2015 before joining Celtic, and while the Bhoys are keen to get their old manager back at the helm after Ange Postecoglou's switch to Tottenham Hotspur, Rodgers is less keen to jump straight back in after a tough year at Leicester City.
Leeds continue to search for a new manager and have been linked with a host of names alongside Rodgers, such as Scott Parker, Carlos Corberan, Steven Gerrard and Graham Potter.
