Brendan Rodgers was last night set to become the new manager of
Liverpool, after being offered a three-year contract to succeed Kenny
Dalglish.
The move by Fenway Sports Group ends a two-week search for a new
man to take control at Anfield. Rodgers' former club, Swansea City,
will pocket around £4m in compensation for losing their highly
rated young manager.
The 39-year-old met the Liverpool owner, John Henry, and chairman, Tom Werner, yesterday, after lengthy discussions with the Swansea chairman, Huw Jenkins, on Tuesday.
