4 best caretaker managers in Premier League history

#3 Kenny Dalglish

Kenny Dalglish was subsequently appointed the permanent manager at Liverpool, after a fruitful short spell

The former Reds striker who had led the club to a domestic double in the 1985-86 season as a player-manager, found himself at the helm of his old club in the middle of the 2011-12 season again, as previous manager Roy Hodgson was sacked.

When Dalglish took over the first team, Liverpool were struggling in the league and found themselves at a lowly 12th in the table.

But under him, the club went on to have an unbeaten run of eight games that saw them leapfrog to the upper half of the table.

His second spell at Anfield would be remembered as the one that saw him pull his club out of misery, proving his managerial aptitude once again.

He also oversaw the arrival of one of the best attackers in Europe at the time in Luis Suarez at the club.

Though he earned a permanent position and a three-year contract, he was sacked in 2012, though he won the League Cup that season.
