5 managers who returned to their former club

#2 Kenny Dalglish (Liverpool 1985-91, 2011-12)

Kenny Dalglish returned and managed to lift the League Cup with Liverpool

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish had two spells in charge of the Anfield club a full two decades apart. He ranks as one of the club’s greatest players and enhanced his reputation as a Reds legend when he helped them to three league titles and two FA Cups in his first spell in charge.

After enjoying success at Blackburn, where he won the Premier League, difficult times at Newcastle and Celtic followed, so by the time he took over at Liverpool once more having spent more than 10 years out of the game, it was never going to be an easy task.

The Reds finished a disappointing eighth in the Champions League, although their season was salvaged by a run to the FA Cup final, in which they were defeated by Chelsea. Less than two weeks later, the Scot left by mutual consent.
