Kenny Dalglish has returned to Liverpool in a coaching
and ambassadorial role, the Premier League club said on
Friday.
Widely regarded as the club's greatest player, the 58-year-old
Dalglish will take on a senior role at the academy and also work
with the commercial department.
Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow said:
"In our very first meeting (manager) Rafa (Benitez) and I agreed
that we wanted to try and bring Kenny back to the club to help Rafa
really drive forward our academy which is at the heart of our plans
for the future".
"We are delighted he has agreed to join us and I am sure he will
be very successful in his new role back at the club," Purslow added
on the Liverpool website.
As a player Dalglish won six League titles and three European
Cups with Liverpool and after taking over as manager in 1985 he
steered the club to its first domestic double in 1986.
