Brendan Rodgers is set to remain as Liverpool
manager after holding positive talks with the club’s
hierarchy.
The 42-year-old met with chairman Tom Werner
and Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon
on Tuesday and it is understood that Rodgers has
been assured that his job is safe.
The Northern Irishman came under intense
pressure following the club’s humiliating 6-1
defeat to Stoke City on the final day of the Premier
League season and subsequently remarked that he
would leave Anfield if he was asked to do so.
However, while both Werner and Gordon are said
to have acknowledged the need for improvements
to be made, they have agreed to continue with
Rodgers at the helm.
Rodgers – who received a boost on Monday when
mooted managerial target Jurgen Klopp announced
that he is set to take a break from coaching – is
now free to restructure his squad ahead of the
2015-16 season.
