Pepe Reina has hinted that he did not have the best relationships with his former Liverpool managers Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers.
After spending the 2013/14 season on loan in Napoli following the arrival of Simon Mignolet, Rodgers ended the Spanish Reds’ nine-year career when he was sold to Bayern Munich after being considered over-requisite at Anfield.
And answering questions in a live Instagram Q&A, the keeper suggested there was a difficult relationship with the Northern Irishman, as well as incompatibility with former England coach Hodgson during his brief stint at Merseyside.
