Leicester City manager, Brendan Rogers has revealed details of the moment before he was sacked as Liverpool manager.

Rogers was sacked as Reds manager in October 2015 then proceeded to enjoy success with Celtics.

Before then, the Northern Irishman was close to leading Liverpool to their first English Premier League title in 2014 but lost it to Manchester City.

Rogers told The Beautiful Game Podcast: "There were a few stories but I didn't know a thing. Clearly the decision was (already) made but I wasn't aware of it.

"The first I spoke to the ownership was with Mike Gordon on the drive back home after the game.

"When I arrived at the training ground, I got in the car and I was driving home and I got the call from Mike. That was the first time I knew.

"I thanked them for it, for the experience, I knew where they were coming from and we parted on good terms. We both moved on."
