Kenny Dalglish was on Thursday appointed permanent manager of Liverpool after signing a three-year contract, the English Premier League club announced.
Dalglish, widely regarded as the Reds' greatest player, has breathed new life into the club since he replaced Roy Hodgson as coach on a temporary basis in January and the team could finish the season as high as fifth place.
Coach Steve Clarke, who arrived soon after Dalglish, has also signed a three-year contract.
John Henry, whose US-based Fenway Sports Group owns Liverpool, said there was no-one else he wanted for the job after the completion of contract talks with Dalglish, who is now in his second stint as the full-time manager.
"Kenny is a legendary Liverpool figure, both as a supremely gifted footballer and successful manager," Henry said in a statement.
"Since returning in January he has shown extraordinary leadership and the ability to bring the best out of so many people associated with the club.
