“Brendan’s new players will find him very fair. They will all get a fair chance to prove themselves. He believes in giving players opportunities and he is not the sort of coach to go in with pre-conceived ideas on players. If they show him in training they’re the sort of players who are capable of playing the possession football he likes, they’ll get a chance.”
“I am very fortunate to have played under some of the top coaches in the game — Rafa Benitez, Mauricio Pochettino, Dunga and, of course, now Jurgen Klopp (below). But I will always have a special affection for Brendan. He believed in me and gave me a chance to play for Liverpool.”
Before joining Liverpool in January 2013, the Brazilian had struggled to break in to the Inter Milan side.
Frustrated by the lack of game time, he agreed a move to the Reds, and developed his game under Rodgers as the Merseyside club narrowly missed out on the Premier League title in 2014.
In addition to Coutinho, Luis Suarez has spoken out and praised Rodgers for developing his game to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League.
Celtic fans will be hoping he has a similar effect at Parkhead and develop the young players at the club.
