Influenced by an Institution

Those who admire Brendan Rodgers do so not only because of the stylish brands of football he nurtures from his teams, but the dedication to his craft that has contributed to his development into a high-profile manager. Swansea City were promoted to the Premier League playing entertaining football; Liverpool almost won it with one of the most iresistible attacks English football has seen; Celtic broke numerous records.
