Football: Dalglish gets three-year contract
Dalglish, widely regarded as the club’s greatest player, has breathed new life into the club.
LIVERPOOL:
Kenny Dalglish was appointed permanent manager of Liverpool, having previously been in caretaker charge, after signing a three-year contract. Dalglish, widely regarded as the club’s greatest player, has breathed new life into the club since he replaced Roy Hodgson as Liverpool manager on a temporary basis in January and the Reds could finish the season as high as fifth. Coach Steve Clarke, who arrived soon after Dalglish, has also signed a three-year contract. John Henry, whose US-based Fenway Sports Group owns Liverpool, said there was no-one else he wanted for the job after the completion of contract talks with Dalglish.
