Five things to expect from Leicester City under Brendan Rodgers

With Brendan Rodgers set to take charge of his first game as Leicester City manager, we expatiate on what to expect from the passionate Irishman.

Leicester City to become every talented young player’s Heaven

Brendan Rodgers may cause a kerfuffle over the other aspects of his management, but his ability to develop young players is questioned by absolutely no one across Europe.

At Liverpool, he turned Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge from raw talents to England’s jewels. At Celtic, he helped Moussa Dembele and Leicester City loanee Filipe Benkovic flourish.

Now at Leicester, he has James Maddison, Demarai Gray, Kelechi Iheanacho, Hamza Choudhury, Wilfred Ndidi and Ben Chilwell-like players to work with.

Iheanacho being an exception, while they have all been on their way up – and a lot of credit has to go to Claude Puel – Rodgers could make them tick the remaining boxes to turn them into genuine world-class players.

And it looks like he has already endeared himself to the players, which is the ideal first step.

"“You look at the young players that he’s brought through and the way they’ve become some of the best players in the world,” Ben Chilwell said of Brendan Rodgers. “Yesterday I bumped into him in the corridor and he was pointing out things in my game he felt he could improve. That’s music to my ears. “He could have stayed in Scotland and won trophies, but he’s come here because he believes in the squad. He thinks over the next few years we can be challenging in Europe, and he can improve us. “There’s no reason why any of us should move on. I’ve never seen it so energetic around here. Everyone’s happy to see one of the biggest managers in the world coming to the club.”"
