When he was at Celtic, Brendan Rodgers appeared to have an insatiable appetite for silverware.
The former Hoops boss won all seven domestic trophies he competed for in a two and a half year spell that ended in acrimony when he departed for England in Febuary.
He also presided over the storied 'Invincibles' season where the Hoops brought the treble back to Celtic Park without losing a single game.
Such an impressive haul can only come about with hard graft on the training pitch and Rodgers has now revealed the daily fitness regime that powered him through the glory laden period.
He explained: "Every morning there will be a group of us in there, from about 7.30am onwards.
"It's something I did at Celtic and Liverpool. It was towards the end of my time at Liverpool when I really got into it - because I wasn't in such good nick five years ago. So I increased my training and changed my diet.
"It wasn't for any other reason than personal pride - but it does give me energy to do my work - all the science behind it tells you that.
"And I feel much better when I'm training than when I'm not - you know what they say - that your stomach is your badge of honour.
"But obviously as you get older your health becomes increasingly important.
Now enjoying a fruitful spell at Leicester City, Rodgers thinks the days of beer-bellied coaches taking players to task over their physical condition are long gone.
For the Foxes boss it's important to set an example.
He said: "And if you're asking a lot of players and pushing them to work to their highest level then I think it's important that the staff are also fit.
"I said to the players that it gives us energy.
"In football you work long hours and if you concentrate and you are fit then you can do the job better."
