2012–2015
Brendan Rodgers
A thrilling title challenge defined Rodgers’ time at Anfield. Suárez, Sturridge and a young attacking side took Liverpool to second place in 2013–14.
Rodgers arrived from Swansea with an emphasis on possession and developing players. The additions of Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho helped transform the attack. Rebuilding after Suárez’s departure proved difficult, and Rodgers left in October 2015.
