Leicester boss to the hapless TV character, David Brent.Mills played under Rodgers during the 49-year-old's brief stint at Reading back in 2009.Although he was axed after just a handful of games by the Royals, Rodgers has rebounded and has held a string of high-profile managerial jobs in the Premier League.

However, Mills has launched a stinging attack on his former coach.And even though he conceded Rodgers is a 'great coach', Mills compared the Leicester boss to the outrageously hopeless television character portrayed by Ricky Gervais."As it turns out, I don't really like the guy at all, but Brendan Rodgers sold me the best line ever," Mills told the UndrTheCosh podcast. "I was just like 'this guy's unreal'."When asked if the Foxes chief had 'sold him a dream', Mills emphatically agreed and gave a bizarre insight into life with Rodgers at the Royals.Mills added: "Sold me a dream, yeah.

He's just a gobs**** mate. He talks the best game ever. [He's a] great coach to be fair to him.Do you think Brendan Rodgers would be a good appointment for Man Utd?
