Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has heaped praise on the club’s decision to appoint Kenny Dalglish as manager on a permanent basis.

The 30-year-old midfielder expects the improvement shown by the Reds over the last few months to continue after the Scottish manager signed a three-year deal with the club.

“It is fantastic news and the news everyone connected with the club has been waiting for,” Gerrard said, as quoted by the Press Association.

“Kenny has lifted the place, the supporters, the players and everyone connected with the club and now we can all look forward to a bright future.

“Before he came in everyone knew it was a difficult time as results were not going well, but sometimes all you need is a change. The last six months has been a lot more positive.

“He is very popular with the players and I think he is a popular guy in general. Everyone knows about his knowledge, his experience and what he has done in the game.

“With Kenny signing and a few more signings, I am sure expectations will go through the roof but we just need to continue what we have been doing over the last six months.”
