Brendan Rodgers has been sacked by Liverpool after their 1-1 draw with Everton in Sunday afternoon's Merseyside derby.

The result left his side with just one win in their last nine games and that has brought his time at Anfield to an end.

Then Swansea manager Rodgers was appointed in June 2012 and led Liverpool to a second-place finish in the Premier League behind Manchester City just last year.

His efforts earned him both a new four-year deal with the club and the LMA Manager of the Year prize, making him the first Anfield boss to win it in its 20-year history.

Last season, however, Rodgers' side were knocked out of the Champions League in the group phase then eliminated from the Europa League round of 32 on penalties by Besiktas.
