Kenny Dalglish, a hero at Anfield, made a hero’s return to the club. After leading them to glory as a player, Dalglish repeated the feat as a manager, winning them three league titles in the 80s. But the Hillsborough tragedy left him in a state of shock as he left the club in 1991.

After managing clubs like Blackburn Rovers and Celtic, Dalglish returned to Liverpool and took charge of the first team in 2011, leading the Merseysiders to the League Cup, the club’s first trophy in six years.

However, after being caught up in the Suarez-Evra dispute, he was dismissed by Liverpool as they finished eighth in the league. Dalglish, though, remains the last manager to have won Liverpool the league.
