BREAKING NEWS: Dalglish signs 3-year contract

Kenny Dalglish: Liverpool's manager

Kenny Dalglish has signed a new 3-year contract that will see him in charge at the club until the end of the 2013-2014 season. Dalglish has taken Liverpool from 4 points above the relegation zone to within a win of securing European football next season.


Liverpool have been in fine from under Dalglish who took over in January after Roy Hodgson was sacked. At that time Liverpool were 12th in the league table and just above relegation. Since then Liverpool has climbed all the way up to 5th and 2 points above Tottenham, who they play this weekend at Anfield. If Liverpool beat Tottenham at home they will secure a spot in the Europa League.


Steve Clarke, Kenny's first appointment when he arrived, has also signed a 3-year deal along with Dalglish. 


"It's a great reward for the work that's been done, not just by me but Steve, Sammy (Lee), the players and the people on the terraces and everyone else inside the club, including the owners," Dalglish told the club's website

"We said at the outset if we stick together and work together then it makes it easier to produce better results and I think that is the main reason why results have improved."


Liverpool will look to carry their recent from into next season and push on for a top four place. Dalglish will also be looking to improve the squad knowing he will be the clubs long term manager. If Liverpool's current form is anything to expect next season then anything is possible.
