Andy Robertson: Losing Diogo Jota, Klopp’s Impact & World Cup Dream | My Best Coach EP 2

This episode of My Best Coach with Andy Robertson is produced in partnership with Gillette.

In this exclusive interview on The Overlap, Ian Wright sits down with Andy Robertson and former Scotland manager Gordon Strachan, one of the most influential figures in Robertson’s career.

Having handed Robertson his Scotland debut, Strachan reflects on Andy’s early years and the determination that drove him from early rejection to becoming a two-time Premier League champion and Champions League winner with Liverpool.

Robertson also opens up to Wrighty about his nine-year journey at Anfield, discussing Liverpool’s difficult season, how close he came to joining Spurs, and the relentless demands of playing under former manager Jürgen Klopp.

The conversation also turns to the heartbreaking loss of close friend and teammate Diogo Jota.

We explore Robertson’s rise to the top and how every setback helped shape the player and leader he is today.

Finally, Andy discusses the pride of captaining Scotland, what it would mean to lead his country out at the 2026 World Cup, and his ambitions for the tournament ahead.
