Liverpool duo Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard have praised the permanent appointment of Kenny Dalglish as Reds manager.
Dalglish was appointed caretaker boss in January following the sacking of Roy Hodgson and he has turned the club's fortunes around, guiding them on a run of 10 wins from their last 14 games.
They now look set to secure Europa League football after leapfrogging Spurs into fifth place last weekend and Liverpool owner John Henry reacted by flying to the UK this week to offer Dalglish a three-year deal.
Speaking about the appointment to the Liverpool Echo Carragher said: "Kenny is a legend here and he has given everyone a boost since he has been back in charge. With the new owners coming in as well everyone is optimistic about the future.
"We are in decent form, everyone is enjoying being part of it and we want to keep this run going."
Liverpool skipper Gerrard, who is out for the rest of the season following groin surgery, added: "It is fantastic news and the news everyone connected with the club has been waiting for.
"Kenny has lifted the place, the supporters, the players and everyone connected with the club and now we can all look forward to a bright future.
"He is very popular with the players and I think he is a popular guy in general. Everyone knows about his knowledge, his experience and what he has done in the game.
"With Kenny signing and a few more signings, I am sure expectations will go through the roof but we just need to continue what we have been doing over the last six months."
