Rodgers wants to follow Pool greats

New Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has no concerns about following club icon Kenny Dalglish at Anfield but hopes one day his own achievements will put him alongside the likes of the Scot, Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.

The 39-year-old conducted himself impressively as he was presented to the media having been officially confirmed as the man owners Fenway Sports Group hope will deliver their vision to restore the Reds’ former glories.

Dalglish’s sacking just over a fortnight ago after FSG decided an eighth-placed finish — 17 points adrift of the top four — left his predecessor in a seemingly unenviable position following in the footsteps of ‘King Kenny’.
