Brendan Rodgers has left Celtic to take charge of Leicester following Claude Puel’s departure from the King Power Stadium.

The 46-year-old began his managerial career at Watford and, after a brief spell with Reading, made his name with Swansea and Liverpool before moving to Parkhead and enjoying great success in Scotland.

Here, Press Association Sport looks at Rodgers’ career in pictures.
