Ben Chilwell Hails New Leicester Boss Brendan Rodgers as 'One of The Biggest Managers in The World'

Leicester and England left-back Ben Chilwell has hailed new manager Brendan Rodgers as "one of the biggest managers in the world" following his appointment at the King Power Stadium.

Rodgers took charge of the Foxes last Wednesday, succeeding former incumbent Claude Puel, who was sacked following last weekend's disastrous 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace - having been in charge of the club for 16 months.

The former Liverpool manager's appointment has seemingly gone down well with Chilwell, with the academy graduate telling Sky Sports that Rodgers had brought an aura and energy with him to the club, revealing his belief that many of the club's top stars will now be more inclined to stay following his arrival.
