A biography for Brendan Rodgershasn’t been written yet.
“I try to implement my own ways of making teams successful.”
“I will only ever do my best.”
“I'm enriched by all my experiences, good and bad, but I've always tried to remain committed in my life as a coach and always positive.”
“I always felt that by the time I would leave Chelsea I was ready to be a number one. I'd had a long apprenticeship so when I was to go, it would to be a No. 1.”
“If you are going to be successful, there is no point in having three or four top individual players, because those players will win you games, but they will never win you titles.”
“When I went in to Liverpool, my job in the first season was to cut the budget. You only need to look at the players who left. Maxi Rodriguez, Alberto Aquilani, Pepe Reina.”
“My decision was that after nearly three years at Celtic - with everything we'd achieved and the success we'd had on the pitch, the improvements off the pitch - then it was time to move on to my next challenge.”
“The key for scouting is trying to predict when the player is peaking.”
“I love the Premier League, the quality of the players, the quality of the coaches. There are great challenges. But there are arms and legs flying off managers down there.”
“It turns out I share a birthday with Jose Mourinho. He is exactly 10 years older than me.”
“You always want to win games and to develop the team, so it's very important that you have encouragement from your fans.”
“Believe it or not, the sky is blue here in Glasgow. I absolutely love it here.”
“If you're happy, ultimately, that's all that matters.”
“I'm very proud of my work at Watford in what has been a short period.”
“As a coach, we are not magicians; we work with the players and look to improve them and give them every opportunity, but if you are not creating or scoring goals over a consistent period of time, it is difficult for you as a coach.”
“I speak to the Spanish players that we have in Spanish.”
“I'm not arrogant enough to think that I will be in a job through anything. Any manager will tell you that you have to win games, and you have to get results. You have to perform.”
“Liverpool is one of the superpowers of world football.”
“The likability of any player is always up for debate, and people will always use their own moral compass to judge Luis Suarez, but that's not something I tend to focus on. I concentrate on what he is like with me on a day-to-day basis, and he is a great man.”
“Wherever you go, you have to go win.”
