Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has revealed his delight at the return to the club of Kenny Dalglish.

The Anfield legend arrives back on Merseyside in a senior role at the Liverpool Academy, overseeing the development of young players, as well as adopting a role as an ambassador for the Premier League runners-up.

And Benitez believes the Liverpool hero is the perfect man for the job, due to his passion and experience.

"I am really pleased to have Kenny as a part of the staff," Benitez told the club's official website.

"We were looking for someone who has a knowledge and a passion for the club and Kenny is the perfect choice.
 
"He will help at the Academy with the development of players and will also have an ambassadorial role at the club. If you're looking for somebody to go around the world on behalf of Liverpool Football Club, then I don't know anybody better than Kenny.

"When you talk to him, about players and football systems, it's clear he has a lot of experience. That's good for the club and also for the young players coming through."
