With a bright start to this year’s Premier League campaign and having collected 13 points out of a possible 18, it looks like Liverpool want to pose themselves as genuine title contenders this year. With the spirits already high at Anfield, the club owners made sure that the fans’ faith in the club remains unshaken when they appointed former legend Kenny Dalglish as a non-executive board director in the club.
Kenny Dalglish moved to Liverpool from Celtic in 1977 and went on to become one of Liverpool’s all time favourite when he helped Liverpool win 6 division titles, FA Cup and 4 League cups during his stint at the Merseyside club.
Dalglish has also managed his favorite club twice once as a player manager from 1985 to 1991 and then again from 2011 to 2012. Despite having brought Liverpool League cup success in 2012, he was sacked by the club owners due to Liverpool’s poor performance in the Premier League.
Current manager Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to work with Dalglish and states that he was impressed by Dalglish’s unconditional love and passion for his former club.
It is certain that the appointment for King Kenny will escalate the club’s confidence to an altogether new height. His presence himself is enough to inspire the players and the staff to strive harder and harder.
