Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has undergone a remarkable body transformation since leaving the Premier League in 2023.

The Northern Irishman has enjoyed an impressive coaching career to date, almost leading Liverpool to a league title, while overseeing two top-five finishes and an FA Cup triumph at Leicester City. After leaving the Foxes by mutual consent in April 2023, Rodgers returned to Celtic in the summer of that year, replacing Ange Postecoglou in the Celtic Park dugout.

A year and a half later, the tactician left the Glaswegian giants, resigning after embarrassingly losing a Champions League qualification tie against Kazakh side FC Kairat.

Now in charge of Saudi Pro League outfit Al Qadsiah, Rodgers is enjoying a lucrative post-European spell in the Middle East.

After parting ways with Leicester, Rodgers would've had a lot of time on his hands as he enjoyed an unprecedented break in his managerial career.

While this break only lasted two months, it gave him enough time to start working out religiously, under the guidance of a high-profile personal trainer. He continued this training program after taking the Celtic job, working to be in excellent shape after turning 50 in January 2023.

Personal trainer Matt Hall, who has worked with the likes of actor Bella Ramsey, golf coach Chris Mayson and aesthetics doctor Alison Colville, posted before-and-after images of Rodgers' transformation to his personal Instagram account this week, and these photographs have stunned fans.

The now 53-year-old had already been in good shape, but the topless after picture showed the manager as significantly more defined and muscular.

In a specific post dedicated to Rodgers rather than several clients back in 2023, Hall shared the same images of the ex-Swansea City coach, along with a caption that included a comment from the manager.

"My aim was to arrive at 50 fit and healthy and Matt definitely helped me to do that," Rodgers said.

"We trained 3/4 times per week, and his programmes were very enjoyable as well as challenging. Matt was very professional and committed in his work, and I can happily recommend him to anyone looking to get themselves into a good place physically and mentally."

Now in Saudi Arabia, it's not clear whether Rodgers is still in perfect shape, although he'll certainly be enjoying himself on his reported £11 million a year salary (via Salary Sport).

Overseeing a squad that includes the likes of Tijani Reijnders, Mateo Retegui and Julian Quinoes, Rodgers has his team second in the Saudi top flight, just two points behind league leaders Al Hilal.
