Rodgers hails importance of Toure

Writer: Bobby VincentBobby Vincent

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has hailed the professionalism of his assistant manager Kolo Toure.


Rodgers was in charge of the retired Ivorian defender at Liverpool, and brought the cult hero into management with him at Celtic - during a successful spell.


"In my time working with him there (at Liverpool), he was clearly a thinker of the game. Someone that would always speak about the game, was interested in the coaching side," the Northern Irishman said in an interview with BBC Sport.

"I brought him onto my staff, at Celtic last summer, and he's been absolutely brilliant. He's got a great rapport with players, everywhere he goes, they have the Kolo dance.


"He's very professional and he's very loyal."
