Wenger sad to see 'quality manager' Rodgers sacked

Arsene Wenger has sent a message of support to Brendan Rodgers after he was sacked by Liverpool.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed his sadness at Liverpool's decision to sack manager Brendan Rodgers.

Having been in charge for more than three years, the Northern Irishman was given his marching orders after the 1-1 Merseyside derby draw against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Wenger was asked about Rodgers' axing after his own side had recorded an impressive 3-0 victory over Manchester United and he expressed disappointment at the Anfield club's decision.

"I am always sad when this happens because I think Rodgers is a quality manager," said the Frenchman.
