Kenny to be given job on permanent basis

According to The Daily Mail, Dalglish looks set to secure the managers job on a permanent basis this week.

Since Kenny's return to the club, Liverpool have seen a resurgence around Anfield. Liverpool are unbeaten at home this year under Kenny and now find themselves back in a European qualification place after their 3-0 win over Newcastle, Sunday morning. While the Europa League is not what the club really wants, it should provide as a stepping stone to reclaim their place back in the Champions League next season.

Reports in Italy suggested that Porto boss Andre Villas Boas would be appointed in the summer and that he had rejected a move to manage Roma because he has already signed a contract with Liverpool.

However, Villas Boas has recently rejected these claims and it has always looked to be Kenny's job for the taking. It's unsure how long the contract could last for but it should prove vital to help stake a major claim next season.
