Liverpool chairman Tom Werner is confident that Brendan Rodgers is the right man for the job.

"In Brendan we have acquired a very exciting and talented and young manager," he said. "He's a forward-thinking coach at the forefront of a generation of young managers and will bring to Liverpool attacking, relentless football."

"We did speak to a number of people in the last few weeks, but I want to say Brendan was the only person we made an offer to. He was our first choice and the right choice."
