Pepe Reina wants "old Liverpool" back following Brendan Rodgers axe

Pepe Reina is hopeful that the "old" Liverpool will return following the sacking of Brendan Rodgers on Sunday.

The Spanish goalkeeper was sold by Rodgers to Bayern Munich last year after being sent on loan to Napoli in the previous season.

Reina, who has since returned to Napoli, spent nine years at Anfield, winning the Champions League and FA Cup with former manager Rafael Benitez.

After hearing the news that Rodgers had been sacked, Reina tweeted: "I will always be a fan & all I want now is to see the old Liverpool come back for the players and the supporters who deserve the best. YNWA."

Liverpool's American owners FSG are believed to be keen to make a swift appointment and former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp is expected to hold talks with the club this week.
