Brendan Rodgers: 'Being Liverpool manager is not stressful'

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers believes that football management is not "stressful", despite the expectation and pressure surrounding the job.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he does not consider guiding one of the most successful football clubs in England as stressful.

The Northern Irishman, who took on the role from Kenny Dalglish last year, finished his first season at Anfield with the club in seventh place, but the Reds are now third in the Premier League table after 10 games in this campaign.

"I don't see the job as stressful, I really don't," Rodgers told the club's official website. "Of course, there is pressure and expectation, but I wouldn't necessarily equate that with stress.

"There are hard-working people in Liverpool and up and down the country who encounter real stress, by worrying about how to pay the bills and feed and clothe their children. That's stress, and I don't think it's fair to tally what they go through with the problems of being a football manager."

Rodgers is preparing his team to face Fulham in the league this weekend.
