Kenny Dalglish given new Liverpool deal: EPL News
Liverpool continue to make their journey into the new era and have been on a mini revival under the new boss, Kenny Dalglish. The owners of the club now, have made sure that the good times continue, by putting their trust in the interim boss and handing
him a new permanent deal at Anfield. The former Liverpool striker has put pen to paper on a deal that will see him stay for next three years at Liverpool.
The Scotsman joined the club in January in an interim role as a caretaker manager after Roy Hodgson was given the axe by new club owners. Liverpool had started the season with their worst run in the Premier League for more than a decade. The Reds were also
in the relegation zone for a while, but since Dalglish has taken over, the Mersey-siders have been on an excellent run and have moved into top 6.
UEFA Champions League football is still at least a season away, but there is a renewed sense of optimism at the club. The fans and the players firmly believe that under Dalglish, the club is heading in the right direction, and there was a general consensus
that he should be given the manager’s job on a long term basis.
Kenny Dalglish was understandably delighted after getting the three-year contract, he said that when he took over the job in January he knew that this is the time for him to prove what he can make the team do and he is glad that he did not let the chance
go to waste.
"I'm obviously delighted to be given the opportunity. When we came back in January, there were no promises as to what to expect, so for me it was an ideal opportunity to prove I had something to offer." Said Dalglish.
The former Liverpool front man last took over as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager back in 1985. He had take over Joe Fagan who had retired. Dalglish did seem to have the golden touch even all those years back, in his very first season Liverpool managed to win the League
and FA Cup double.
He was part of the club till 1990 and at the age of 40 he resigned from his managerial post to take a complete break from football.
The break did not last very long for Dalglish, and after just few months he was back in the game and took the manager’s job at Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385. He took them to top division in 1992 and also managed to win the Premier League in 1995 with them.
The former Scott international has had impressive spells as manager at Newcastle and at Celtic. He came back to Liverpool as a club ambassador back in 2009, and with his past with the club, he was an absolute idol. Even when Rafael Benitez was let go, he
was the fans’ favourite to take the job. However, after Roy Hodgson took over and the club heading south, there was no other choice for the owners but to hand him the responsibility.
His first few months with Liverpool can be taken as new manager’s syndrome, or maybe the club has found the right man for the job. All of that will be revealed when the next season kicks off in August this year.
