Kenny Dalglish will not hinder Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers

Former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has said that his new position as a non-executive board director at Anfield will not hinder the work of current boss Brendan Rodgers.

Dalglish has returned to the club having previously been sacked during his second spell in management at the club, where he was brought in to replace former manager Roy Hodgson.

"If you're coming back to help the football club in any way, you certainly don't want to come back to hinder," Dalglish told Liverpool's official website. "We'll be in close proximity but Brendan is in charge of the team 100%.

"It's nothing to do with me. I'm here to be of help to anybody; if he wants to have a conversation, I'm here to do as I'm told or asked to do, and that suits me fine. I want people around us who have this club and what it stands for in their heart."

Liverpool have started the season positively, with the club already enjoying an impressive Premier League victory over Manchester United.
