LONDON: Liverpool owner John Henry has hinted that Kenny Dalglish may be given the manager’s job permanently following the successful start to his temporary stewardship of the club.
Dalglish was given the task of steadying the ship at Anfield following the departure of Roy Hodgson, and despite defeats in his first few games, Liverpool have won their last three matches while moving to seventh in the table.
Dalglish, 58, who has made no secret of his desire to do the job on a permanent basis, was also given freedom to splash out in the transfer market this week with the acquistion of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.
Henry told Fox Soccer Channel that Fenway Sports Group could not have been happier with Dalglish since he took over.
“It’s still early but in retrospect you could not have made, in our case it was very fortunate, but we could not have made a better choice,” said Henry.
“I know he, for a long time now, has wanted to be in this position, so it’s a great thing for the club, for Kenny and for us.”
Henry also suggested Liverpool’s owners would look to redevelop Anfield rather than build a new stadium, saying the unique atmosphere of the club’s famous ground must be preserved.
“The Kop is unrivalled,” he added.
“The atmosphere, I was really surprised because we’ve heard so much about needing a new stadium.
“We were surprised at how beautiful Anfield was both viewing it as an empty stadium and then with the first game.
“It would be hard to replicate that feeling anywhere else.”
