Current Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is a former Liverpool boss.
Rodgers was appointed as the Liverpool manager in the summer of 2012, and he was in charge of the Reds until October 2015.
The 46-year-old almost guided the Merseyside outfit to the Premier League title during the 2013-14 campaign.
Liverpool legend Barnes has suggested that Rodgers was harshly treated at Anfield.
Barnes wrote in The Glasgow Evening Times: “I use Jurgen Klopp as an example. In the first 18 months, his record wasn’t better than Brendan Rodgers’ record.
“But the harmony and belief meant they supported him and look what has come out of that. And Brendan has proven what a good manager he is. I thought Brendan was harshly treated at Liverpool.”
Success for Brendan Rodgers
Rodgers is now in charge of Leicester in the Premier League, and he was hugely successful during his managerial spell at Celtic following his departure from Liverpool.
The 46-year-old guided the Hoops to successive domestic trebles and to the Scottish League Cup this past season before he left the Glasgow giants for Leicester in February 2019.
Under Rodgers, the Foxes finished ninth and played some good football, and the King Power Stadium faithful will know that they are in a for treat and adventure.
