Liverpool chairman, Tom Werner, has said that the club decided to keep Brendan Rodgers, because he is the best man to lead them forward.
There were calls for the Northern Irishman to be fired, as the Reds suffered a dramatic slump towards the end of last season.
However, the club refused to axe Rodgers and expect that he will recreate the fantastic title challenge he orchestrated in the 2013/2014 campaign.
“First of all, we take a long-term view on these matters,” Werner told the Echo.
“We believed in Brendan when he won Manager of the Year for 2013/14. That was only a year earlier when he was awarded that compliment.
“I think our track record demonstrates that our approach and attitude is very much focused on stability. We have demonstrated that both on and off the pitch.
“We do believe Brendan is the right man for Liverpool and the right man to take the club forward.
“When we hired Brendan, we wanted to see improvement.
“Hopefully, when we have a conversation in a year’s time, he will have demonstrated and the squad will have demonstrated that we’ve regained top form again”.
