Brendan Rodgers hinted he was reluctant to move to Arsenal because he had gotten a good job with Leicester City. Rodgers has succeeded in changing the face of Leicester City. The club was chaotic at the hands of Claude Puel, but this season has transformed into a very solid team. So far from 11 matches, Rodgers has led Leicester to seven wins.

"If you work well, it is a natural consequence of what happens in this sport. You will be connected to other jobs," he told Sky Sports. "People connect me, sometimes, with top clubs - I am already in top jobs. This is a fantastic club, a great job for me and at the moment with the ownership we have, the players I have "I really love every minute of it," he said. "All the gossip and speculation, whether it is for you or against you, is part of this sport," Klopp continued. Understand the Emery Position This weekend, Arsenal will meet Leicester City. Unlike Rodgers, Emery is under great pressure and threatened to lose his job. Rodgers also sympathized with the situation faced by his colleague. He claimed to be able to understand how Emery felt. "When you are a manager, you always have empathy for other managers," he explained. "You understand the pressure, you understand the climate in which we work." "But as a manager you really focus on what you can control. Unai is a proven coach, he is an experienced coach, so he will focus on team performance and not be involved in all the background noise that occurs," said Rodgers. Arsenal is currently ranked fifth in the Premier League standings with 17 points. Meanwhile Brendan Rodgers brought Leicester City to 23 points from 11 matches.
