The Uruguayan striker left Liverpool to complete a summer move to Spanish giants Barcelona, but has looked back fondly on the time he spent with his former boss, Sky Sports reports.
Rodgers took charge in June 2012, replacing Kenny Dalglish, and Suarez was confident he would fit well into the club’s future plans after they discussed tactics.
In an extract from his new autobiography ‘Crossing The Line: My Story’, he wrote: “There was a moment during the first real, in-depth conversation that I had with Brendan Rodgers when I looked at him and it hit me: ‘He’s right.’
“We had been talking for a little while, he was explaining the way that he wanted the team to play, and everything was falling into place. Everything he said made perfect sense. I was completely convinced.”
As part of his philosophy, Rodgers encouraged the goalkeeper to play like an outfield player and asked a central midfielder to drop deep in search of possession.
Suarez had never encountered such an approach, but reaped the benefits during his prolific spell in the Premier League.
