Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is full of praise for his Leicester rival Brendan Rodgers.

The new Leicester boss has been good friends with Howe since they were in charge of Burnley and Swansea.

"Brendan Rodgers has come in and had a real impact on the team, which is no surprise me," Howe said in his press conference.

"He's a forward-thinking coach and outstanding at what he does.

"I'm trying to cast my mind back [to watching him take training] - I think his organisation was first class, his vision of the game was very good and his philosophy was strong.

"The main thing I took from it was the time that he gave me. In a pressured situation, managing a football club, he gave me some really good time to talk to him and bounce things off him.

"That's what I really took from it, the fact he was gracious enough to give me that. I'll never forget it."
