Fenway Sports Group (FSG) and Liverpool Football Club announced that
Brendan Rodgers has been appointed as the club's new Manager, after
signing a contract.
Rodgers, 39, is regarded as being at the forefront of a new
generation of football coaches, an excellent tactician and motivator
with a progressive philosophy. After an extensive two-week process where
many highly-qualified candidates were carefully considered, Liverpool's
ownership group identified Rodgers as the single outstanding candidate
to implement their long-term vision.
At Liverpool, Rodgers' primary focus will be the first team but he'll
also work extensively in collaboration with the new football operations
structure as the team adheres to the continental football Sporting
Director model. Further details on this structure will be provided in
due course.
Rodgers joins the Reds after a hugely successful spell at Swansea
City; where he won them promotion to the Barclay's Premier League in his
first full season in-charge. He then further defied the odds by
securing a mid-table finish in England's top flight, playing a brand of
football praised for its fluidity and entertaining, attacking nature.
New Manager Brendan Rodgers says he can't wait to get started at Anfield:
"I'm blessed to be given this opportunity. I want to thank John
Henry, Tom Werner and FSG for the opportunity to manage such a great
club. I'm really excited and I can't wait to get started on this
incredible project going forward. I promise to dedicate my life to
fight for this club and defend the great principles of Liverpool
Football Club on and off the field."
Liverpool's Principal Owner John Henry says they've got the man they want:
"Fenway Sports Group is committed to building for the long-term.
Brendan Rodgers' appointment today as manager of Liverpool Football Club
is one of the most important steps we will take in building the kind of
club on and off the pitch supporters can be excited about.
"Brendan's comprehensive football philosophy is perfectly aligned
with those at the club and those soon to join the club. He was the
first choice unanimously among them and he had no hesitation at all in
embracing exactly what we want to try to build at Liverpool.
"We do not expect miracles overnight nor should anyone else. But we
firmly believe that the direction the club is heading in will lead to
Premier League championships. We will embrace the unconventional, build
the right way and together set a bold, exciting course for this
historic club."
Chairman Tom Werner says the fans can look forward to some exciting times ahead:
"The style of football Brendan is associated with is exactly what we want to see at Anfield.
"Aggressive, attacking play; Swansea were a revelation last season with their brand of entertaining football.
"But it's not just what he has achieved in the last two years that
has impressed us; he has dedicated his career to coaching, has studied
the game all over Europe and he is the perfect person to take this club
forward.
Rodgers extensive coaching background began in 1995, when at just 22
years of age he became Academy manager for Reading. His talent and
enthusiasm drew admirers and in 2004 Jose Mourinho swooped to secure his
services for Chelsea, as they went on to dominate the Premier League
for the next two campaigns.
The Northern Irishman was soon to be given the opportunity to manage
outright, being appointed manager of Watford and then subsequently
Reading, where his professional journey began.
Throughout his coaching career, Rodgers travelled Europe and visited
clubs such as Valencia, Sevilla and Barcelona as well as clubs in the
Netherlands to exchange ideas on football philosophy and to learn from
some of the best teams and managers in the game.
Managing Director Ian Ayre says he is an impressive character:
"When you meet Brendan you can't help but be inspired by his knowledge, passion and vision for the game.
"The experience he has for such a young age shows we are getting someone at the very top of their profession.
"He and our owners both have a clear plan of how to bring success on
the pitch and he will have the full support of everyone at Liverpool
Football Club while he strives to achieve that."
