Liverpool sack manager Roy Hodgson, Dalglish returns
January 8th, 2011 - 10:10 pm ICT by ANILondon, June 8(ANI): Liverpool on Saturday announced that manager Roy Hodgson has left the club by mutual consent.
Kenny Dalglish has been put in charge for Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Manchester United.
Hodgson leaves Anfield after an unhappy six-month reign after taking over from Rafael Benitez.
“Being asked to manage Liverpool football club was a great privilege. Any manager would be honoured to manage a club with such an incredible history, such embedded tradition and such an amazing set of fans. Liverpool is one of the great clubs in world football. I have, however, found the last few months some of the most challenging of my career,” Sport24 quoted Hodgson, as saying.
“I am very sad not to have been able to put my stamp on the squad, to be given the time to bring new players into the club in this transfer window and to have been able to be part of the rebuilding process at Liverpool.”
“The club has some great, world-class players, with whom it has been a pleasure to work and I wish the entire squad well for the rest of the season,” he added.
Liverpool is currently languishing in 12th position in the Premier League table, four points above the relegation zone. (ANI)
