King Kenny And Hiddink Favourites To Succeed Benitez


Bookies up and down the country are tipping former Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish or former Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink to takeover from under pressure manager Rafa Benitez.

Liverpool crashed out of the FA Cup last night at Anfield at the hands of Championship side Reading, which now sees the reds fighting for fourth place having been knocked out of the Champions League and League Cup.

Dalglish and Hiddink have been placed at 5/2 by Sky Bet while next in line is a return to the Premier League for Jose Mourinho, who has been placed at 5/1, alongside another former Anfield boss Gerard Houllier to takeover from the Spaniard.

Rafa Benitez has more problems this morning with injuries to key forward Fernando Torres and captain Steven Gerrard.

However on a brighter note for the Spaniard Liverpool have announced that they have completed the signing of Atletico Madrid and Argentinean star Maxi Rodriguez on a free transfer on a three and a half year deal.
