Dalglish Takes Over Liverpool FC as Hodgson Leaves by ‘Mutual Consent’
A statement on Liverpool FC’s website confirmed what many had thought was coming, Roy Hodgson has left the football club by mutual consent.
One of Liverpool’s owners, John Henry, said
“We are grateful for Roy’s efforts over the past six months but both parties thought it in the best interests of the club that he stand down from his position as team manager. We wish him all the best for the future.”
Results just haven’t been going Liverpool’s way since Hodgson took over as manager from Rafael Benitez, who was sacked for not getting the league results that Liverpool owners and fans demand. It has been along time since they dominated the league competitions.
Roy Hodgson released a statement that said
“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. 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. I thank those with whom I have built up a close working relationship at the club for their loyalty and support during very testing times, and finally of course to the Liverpool fans, your passion and dedication to the club will see Liverpool at the top of the game once more.”
The Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish will now take over the reigns as manager for the rest of the season. Dalglish is Liverpool’s third most successful manager of all time, one of the greatest players of his generation and the person many Liverpool fans wanted as manager in the first place.
