One of modern footballs most successful managers, who has won a host of leagues and cups, took time out to speak exclusively to View from the Loch!

Rodgers was born in the seaside village of Carnlough in County Antrim, Northern Ireland and is the eldest of five boys.

He began his career at Ballymena United, where he stayed until he was signed by Reading at the age of 18, although a genetic knee condition forced him to retire at age 20. He remained at Reading as a coach and then academy director. He was then invited by José Mourinho to join Chelsea as youth manager in 2004, later being promoted to reserve manager in 2006.

In 2012 Rodgers became the new manager of Liverpool, whom he led to runners up position in the league in the 2013/14 season – and then became manager of Celtic in 2016 leading them to an undefeated domestic season in his first year and trebles in both of his first two seasons.

He left Celtic for Leicester City in February 2019, and left there April of this year having won the FA Cup.
