Summary

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Brendan Rodgers from season five.

Brendan recently parted company with Leicester City, so it’s worth recalling the sheer brilliance of his influence on the Foxes when he arrived. Brendan had honed his philosophy as a budding coach via regular educational visits to Spain. We hear about Samuel Eto’o, Luis Suárez, John Terry, Scott Brown and James Maddison. And there’s moving testimony about what it was like taking over at Leicester in the wake of the tragic death of the club’s beloved owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Way back at what seemed then felt like the start of a football season, I tipped Brendan Rogers

Leicester to be the disruptors which broke into the big four. When play was suspended by this damn virus, they sat third in the league,

Lester as a club is a systematic success.

But Brendan Rogers has become a huge part of that system

and his career at this point leaves no room for doubting that he's in the top tier of coaches.

Promotion and a mid-table Premier League finish with a beautiful Swansea team,
