I’ve got to know Brendan Rodgers a little over the years. He interviewed me for a coaching job at Liverpool in 2015 and, while Gary McAllister ended up being appointed, speaking to Brendan gave me an insight into his intelligence and methods. His knowledge and analysis were amazing.
He brings a lot of thought into his work, he spent years preparing his manifesto for management, and since he’s been at Leicester I’ve also been impressed with the way he keeps his emotions intact. He is rarely flustered whether things are going badly or brilliantly.
Retiring early quickened his progress as a manager.
