Claude Puel
In February 2019, Rodgers was appointed manager of Leicester City, following the sacking of Claude Puel. Rodgers' first game in charge of "The Foxes" was on 3 March 2019 away against former club Watford. The game ended in a 2–1 defeat, with Andre Gray scoring a 92nd-minute winner for "the Hornets". In Rodgers' home debut, his second game in charge, Leicester won 3–1 over struggling Fulham. Striker Jamie Vardy scored his 100th goal for the club in the match.
