Kolo Touré: “Brendan Rodgers Reminds Me of Arsène Wenger”
Liverpool defender Kolo Touré has drawn a notable comparison between his current manager Brendan Rodgers and his former boss at Arsenal, Arsène Wenger. Despite a challenging first half of the season, the Ivorian international remains optimistic and full of confidence in Rodgers’ leadership.
In an interview with The Mirror, Touré praised the Liverpool manager’s intelligence and communication skills:
“I see Wenger in him, because he is so intelligent. He knows how to talk to players and how to get the best out of them. He will prove it, because we will come out of this difficult period,” said the experienced defender.
Having spent several successful years under Wenger at Arsenal, Touré is well-placed to assess coaching styles. His endorsement reflects the high regard he holds for Rodgers’ approach during testing times at Anfield.
