Brendan Rodgers is a football coach and manager. A former footballer, his own professional career was cut short by a genetic knee condition at age 20, but he successfully transitioned to coaching, and then management. Known as an impactful manager, he led Swansea City to enter the Premier League for the first time, and helped Liverpool become runners-up in the league. He is currently at Leicester City, sitting at 3rd in the Premier League at time of writing.

For Oxford to bring in Rodgers shows great character
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love to read a list of your achievements
Wonderful human beings
Great technician
He worked very hard here.
Really disappointed with the interviewer here and some of the questioning. You get a Premier League manager in with lots of experience who has had an unorthodox journey into coaching/management and she asks “how the F are Leicester doing so well?”.
Clearly no research done on his success at previous clubs and his style.
"First of all, I'm very delighted to be here, surrounded by wonderful human beings with great character"
Well it's wonderful to be here and I am delighted you all have great character,...
You remind me of my wonderful friend Kolo Toure
Was wee Joe Allen one of them?
My success is based on some of my youngest players like Kolo Toure, he is a wonderful human being.
A wonderful human being with great character........
Brendan has clearly left his heart in Glasgow. Can see the sadness in his face at times that hes no longer there ..time to get yourself back 'home' 🍀
What an awful interviewer, questions very generic. Almost like she just Google "football" and "manager" just before the interview...
Sean Macmillan Sadly I agree, doesn’t have the background in football that’s required
shes not a pro ffs
This is a different kind of format. The audience it's aimed at is not just a football audience, so it has to be more generic.
@@jejmoss11 I agree, if anything her biggest mistake was focusing her questions specifically on something she herself doesn't understand to a high level (football). Imo she should have explored Rodgers philosophies, his mindet, how he resolves issues. If you ask interesting questions that you could just as easily ask anyone you'll still get an insight into football because it's from his perspective, rather than asking vague football specific questions that most casual fans could have awnsered.
She probably did lmao
Could tell I wasn't going to like this after the first question: "How the 'f' are Leicester suddenly so good?". What kind of question is that? Not very classy. Just because he's a football manager, doesn't mean you talk to him like you would someone in a pub. He showed Oxford respect and deserved a bit better, in my opinion. I have lots of respect for Brendan and I think even he was a bit unpleasantly surprised by that opener. The tone was off from the beginning.
Its typical posh uni 'kids' trying to be edgy lol
probably go to demonstrations pleading to be a victim of some sort.
Split arse
He never showed celtic any respect despite claiming to have been a life long fan.. deserves no respect
Just a sign of the times...the regression of society in general. Crass stupidity rules.
A generic set of questions that could have been asked of anybody. She's condescending and brings nothing to the table.
Man United fan but massive respect to Rodgers. Amazing coach with the teams he's been in charge of. 🙏🏾
Defo mate. Btw please put that noisy neighbours plastic club back in there place buddy, great team but defo not a great club, fkn nobodies 10 years ago. Only two GREAT clubs in England ..Man U and Liverpool !
Beautiful human being...
I hope the interviewer is not studying journalism at Oxford...
It was uncomfortable to watch
Love Brendan - a lot of insight into his coaching journey and philosophy. Wish they exposed this more and learned more about his philosophy. Please bring Brendan in again! If you could get Jose now that'd be a great move!
I think Brendan has a heck of a lot more to offer in terms of his intelligence he brings to the game. The interviewer was awful and he did try and help her with this. Nothing but respect for him.
yeah, a lot to offer in scotland lol
I beamed when this popped up on my feed but this has been a missed opportunity. Not only is he probably Britain's best manager, Rodgers is one of the more interesting characters (for a plethora of reasons) in football too. Preparation is severely lacking leading to mundane questions and a poor tone.
Not even a Celtic fan but pretty poor to see no mention of Celtic in the description.
Great coach, subpar interviewer; for the love of goodness why can't oxford find a proper football fan who can ask more than just superficial questions?
because its oxford university
Political correctness
Welcome back to Celtic Brendan. Right behind you 🍀
beautiful human being, amazing character
Hard-work. Intensity.
Rodgers stated after the interview that The Oxford Union is full of 'wonderful human beings'.
Thank you always to #BrendanRodgers we have a brilliant team #lcfc are the best.
You must be buzzing right now lol I certainly am ;p
Interviewer was pretty terrible.
Calm down Michael fucking Parkinson.
😂 this comment is gold.
Yes Interviewer is shit
I WISH Kolo was sitting just behind him the whole interview. Taking notes on a mini notepad, with a stubby pencil from mini-golf.
hahaaaaaaaa
Great spirit great character
Did anyone feel uncomfortable watching that? Interviewer made that really awful to watch.
He was very proud to be there
I didn’t think id ever forgive brendan for leaving celtic. It hurt bad. But he’s a great man.
And he's back. YAAASSSSS 🍀
@@theSlabberingCabbage 🥁🎵🎶🏆🍀🏆🍀🏆🥁Yaaaaaasssss HH🍀🍀🍀
Wonderful human being with terrific character
Good listen, interviewer could've done a little better.
Lot of respect for Rodgers.
One of the best coaching prospect for the super clubs. I really like his coaching style, and obviously he has the respect of he team wherever he goes. He is maturing and is at the right age. I am sure in the new future he will coach super teams again. He should have one the league with Liverpool, if it was not for that famous slip. Big respect.
Where is Kolo Toure at?
Great man, great coach. If Steven Gerrard isn’t ready when Klopp leaves I’d take Brenden back in a heartbeat.
Steven Gerrard? You'd be better with the interviewer
@@quadrupletreblex Hahahahaha brilliant - here we go 10IARa
Terrific manager. Very angry when he left Celtic, but more envious Leicester were getting what we enjoyed. Time heals and Celtics recent issues behind the scenes looks like it was a major reason why Brendan moved although I doubt he will ever mention Lawwell etc. All the very best to the man
this hasnt aged well
It has now 😊
@@andyc67 yip very well 👍😂
@@santoy1000 it's aged brilliantly. Welcome back big man 🍀
Yaaaassss he's back😁HH🍀
VAR play a role in Liverpool's dominance? Not even a Liverpool fan, but that was ridiculously stupid
Great technician
i wanna know why the jamie interview is being held?
Celtic fan here with some more appropriate questions for the man for anyone whoever gets the opportunity:
You have credited Jose Mourinho as your biggest influence in coaching. What about Jose's method made it's biggest mark on you in your time at Chelsea?
Jose is ofcourse renowned for his 'win at all costs' mentality. You however once said your drive as a coach was working with and improving players and that trophies are a secondary consideration. How has winning every domestic competition you entered as Celtic manager affected this notion?
**Possible follow up** Champions League qualification or win the FA Cup?
Your time at Liverpool was defined by meteoric improvements on the pitch - describe to me how you highlighted the sides strengths and what you did to bring that side together.
**Luis Suarez**
You area Celtic supporter and the most successful Celtic manager since Jock Stein however your reputation amongst supporters divided. How do you feel about this? Where do you consider your own place in Celtic's history?
Liam Devine Martin O’Neill was the most successful Celtic manager since Jock Stein.
@@MultiJoe84 Not domestically.
A boy from a village in Northern Ireland at Oxford Uni haha. I went there once with school and it was beautiful but the people would make your skin crawl. Not sure they take to a Scottish accent unless it's their butler 😂
Suddenly so good? Recent league champions
Brendan is a real life David Brent
He actually thinks he is special and important lol
He must feel like he's a special human being with great character just by the way hes speaking and his hands like he's a footballing philosopher or professor
Rodgers is still looking really good for someone in his 40s.
He’s only fucking 47 not 87
Awful interviewer, shame
The first Celtic fan who stands up to ask (in the yellow and grey) looks as tho he’s about to burst out laughing.
I was really sad for Rogers when he left LFC, at the time I felt he’d been let down by the recruitment team’s failure to replace Luis Suarez with a quality player. But what this interview has demonstrated is, to Rogers, LFC was just another football club that was big enough for him to achieve his own personal ambitions. Contrast that with Klopp and the naked passion he has for the club. Maybe I’m being overly romantic about my club but Sir Alex Ferguson said of Klopps appointment to LFC,” I’m really worried about this appointment, there is just something about Klopp and Liverpool that goes together”, tell me who knows more about football than Ferguson? And that’s coming from a Liverpool fan.
Great coach never a Celtic fan
Great character
She should ask him what oppressed him to have a giant picture of himself in his house 😂
How many of them Liverpool fans have actually been to a game do you recon?
He looks a bit like the Avatars from the film :D
I love her accent
Great manager at Celtic Invincible Treble Double Treble its just the way he left that annoys us Celtic fans could have stayed became a legend Treble Treble winning manager but he didn't want to stay but onwards and upwards Celtic will go on hopefully win ten in a row HH 🟢⚪🟠
I first read the title as Brandon Rogers 😳
I love listening to the posh female british accent
No disrespect to the interviewer, but you really need to be bringing in someone with an intimate knowledge of football.
or any knowledge at all would have been nice. Fucking embarrassing from a so called 'top class university.'
Dull dull dull. The best i've watched are Bill Maher and Scaramucci.
I thought Brendan Rogers was excellent. As others have said the interviewer clearly didn't know much about him or football, and/or lack of prep. The Q&A part was really good, though
@@dmg8530 if monotone, media safe responses which don't give any insight are you bag - then I agree - he was a showstopper. That's not setting our sights too high though is it.
Why am I here
Are they exempted from Coronavirus Pandemic 😷😷😷
Recorded the day b4 apparently...
This new thing in TV. Its called a prerecorded show. 😛
Beautiful human beings, with great character, don't catch viruses.
He never failed at Celtic, he’ll be remembered the same as any other average manager. Snuck out the back door first chance.
Double Treble and invincibles will never be done again. He just won't will he.
Tony H failed in Europe, apart from his first season his next 18 months were mediocre
@@jamiemcclung3601 yeah trebles are mediocre haha. The joys of being a young Celtic supporter I suppose.
Tony H Neil Lennon could be on verge of a double treble himself. With a better run in Europe? Won’t here people talk him up because he’s ginger and has yellow teeth
@@jamiemcclung3601 “better run in Europe” ahahha this is funny reading this now knowing you didn’t even get the past the group stage in Europa & Rangers are walking you’re shite league this season.
"So Brenden, you lost at home 10 nil and after the game your players beat up one of the disabled children supporters, what do you have to say?"
"......... well I'm certainly very pound here, they showed wonderful beautiful character"
Rodgers is a good manager.. Great attention to detail but I do feel his biggest fan is himself....money driven...Anyone who has over 100 properties to let has some kind of obsession.... Will drop Leicester soon as bigger club flash the cash...
Should have stayed at celtic.
He is so underrated coach In the world. He make Swansea Fc play like Barcelona. He almost win a league with Liverpool with bad defense like kolo Flanagan if he have kloop defense for sure he will win league easily. He sign for Celtic for the first time in history of Scotland league Celtic play amazing football. He make Celtic great again. If his lucky to have great full squad he will be one off the greats mangers on modern era . He is great ideal mangers Like Marcelo bielsa Arsene wenger.
yared meshesha Arsene Wenger? 🤣
Delta I talk about football style .
Neil 🔴⚪️💙🇬🇧
I think you only watching Neil Lennon Celtic games firstly open this link and watch the Brendan Rogers Celtic not Neil Lennon Celtic the team is better than pep Barcelona by possession football so you amazed by Neil Lennon side and please see the link Watch Relive Moussa Dembele’s Puskas Award nominated goal for Celtic against St Johnstone. That goal was the first time in Scotland with beautiful ways. www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/41401233
Inspire my team, create an environment for them to develop, set goals, cliche, cliche, cliche. Rodgers sends me to sleep. I much prefer Darren Farley.
Shite, this was not five days ago!
Anybody can teach me english
The interviewer needs elocution lessons. That grating rising intonation like she's checking understanding all the time.
.
I wonder Brenden could you help with a homeless issue it's your cuz Deirdre
🐀
Only thing a would to ask Mr job seeker, sorry Rodgers is do you regret filling the best supporters in the world,ie, Celtic fans,with nonsense like they will have to drag me out Celtic park and am here for a very long time,18 months later yr sneaking out a back door,and to even suggest yr one off us,😂😂😂,you will never be a Neil Lennon Martin O'Neill Billy macneil Brendon,ps if yr a Leicester fan,don't get attached as hell do the same to yous,fact,🍀
😂😂
The man is an ego maniac.
Social distancing, non existent.
Was recorded months ago. Uni’s are shut!
COYB
incoming snake emojis from salty celtic fans
Nah not really. Wasn't great the way he left but gave us great memories.
Tony H ik but you can’t blame him, look at the amazing job he’s doing. he obviously wanted to join them last season so he could look to improve them this season which he’s done. incredible getting leicester into top 4.
@@Tom_3566 Yeah I blame him for the way he left to be honest. When you say you're a Celtic fan born into it and in your dream job then leaving anyone for Celtic halfway through the season is very poor. To leave for Leicester (all due respect to Leicester) is extremely hard to take after all the things he said. Obviously harder for English people to get that side of things but when you come to Celtic or Rangers for that matter, financially it might not be as lucrative but its a unique job in that your managing a huge club that is very important to people, so leaving in the middle of a season is far from common practice. In spite of all that he did wonders for Celtic and left a great legacy.
perhaps the evil that preceded the all absolute would always like to offer the possibility for the "beings" of the cosmos to live forever reproducing infinitely all immortal "flora" and "fauna" including if we are .... free .. ... to think it means that everything is possible !! London 15.04.2020 at 22.46.52
Crap questions so far ... Very poor
Shame the interviewer knows nothing about football. She asks Rodgers how to keep Leicester motivated when Liverpool are so far ahead, Rodgers and Leicester Citys targets this season where never to win the Premiership for christ sake. Disappointed that an institution like Oxford provided such an inappropriate interviewer and therefore Rodgers is being asked rather silly questions due to her lack of footballing knowledge. An idiotic choice of interviewer from Oxford University, pretty embarrassing for a University that is supposed to pride itself on intelligence. By the way I have nothing against the lady, she may well be very good conducting other interviews but she was definitely the wrong selection for this.
Rodgers yes done great at celtic but hes a rat for leaving money talks in football and hes just the same as the rest
He’s coming back 😂
Celtic Park?😂
Yes, great atmosphere for big games. Definitely up there among the best ....
“Unique” Erm no Brendan. Ibrox is at least as good. As as Anfield, probably OT. Nou Camp, Madrid, Juve. the Turkish clubs, the Greeks, Munich etc etc etc.
You list a few players impressed by Celtic Park. Every club has visiting players that say that shit. Del Piero, Valdes, Neville, Rudd VN among others said the same about Ibrox. It’s bollocks. Difference is you lot actually hold onto that shit like a trophy😂
Your hun tears are delicious, enjoy 10IAR you D🍊B
Ha ha, jealousy is a terrible thing!
A hun actually watched watched this 😂😂😂😂
A “hun”? ...😂😂😂
Fuck, I really need to give you people a reality check. Now pay attention, I’ll make this as simple as I possibly can for you. 😂😂😂😂
Who is more “hun”?
Huns = Nazis, who were anti Semitic. Is there another people on earth who hate the Jews as much as the Nazis?
Well yes there is, it’s Palestine.
Where are Palestine most supported (in reality most they actually don’t care, it’s just symbolism by people who sadly lack in so many things) in Europe. Probably Celtic Park....
Celtic who are by their own admission are a club with deep Irish Catholic roots ...
Ireland, a third world shitehole which remained neutral during WW2 whilst Britain fought alone against the tyranny of the Nazis (huns)
Me, well I’m proud to support a team who are British to the core. Britain, a country which stood alone against fascism, first to abolish and stand against slavery. The first true democracy. A country who has always stood up against tyranny, no matter matter the cost. We gave you the industrial revolution, women rights, workers rights, gay rights. We lead the world in the worlds most popular sport, music, art. Economically, culturally and militarily Britain remains in the top pier of nations...
Celtic, the Irish Catholic team. seem to share the same ideology as the “huns”. Ireland and the Catholic Church seem to overtly or covertly support Child abuse, anti abortion, anti gay, anti Jew ideologies. A nation with absolutely no relevance economically, culturally or militarily. To most people the belief system held by many of this persuasion looks very similar to an ideology started by a little Austrian painter who lived in Germany.
Tears?😂😂😂
Jealousy? 😂😂😂
Huns? 😂😂😂
No, this is just us trying to educate you again but I must admit it’s seeming like a lost cause these days. A bit like United Ireland
Honestly conquering Ireland seems to have have a complete waste of time for us. We’ve tried to help your little culture and educate you and give you some sort of relevance but I suppose you can’t tell a pig they live in shit.
Mugs 😂😂😂
You sat and typed that all out 😂😂virgin
Snake. When he dies he will go to hell
Hail hail mate 🇮🇪
Sure St Patrick got rid of all the snakes 😂
that’s too far, don’t be so horrible.
Good manager but will never be a top one
