BRENDAN Rodgers was appointed Liverpool manager yesterday with the Premier League club's American owners hailing him as the man with the vision and flair to bring back the glory days.
The former Swansea City boss, who had initially turned down one of the hottest jobs in English soccer, replaces Kenny Dalglish after the Scot was sacked in the wake of a disappointing eighth place finish last season.
Rodgers, only the 18th manager in the club's 120-year history, said he would dedicate his life to fight for Liverpool and defend its principles on and off the field. "We might not be ready for the title now but the process begins today and it's a new cycle," he said.
Liverpool owner John Henry said in a statement that nobody was expecting an overnight miracle. "But we firmly believe that the direction the club is heading in will lead to Premier League championships," he said.
