Former Liverpool defender Mark Wright claims it is a very exciting time for any manager to come in and take over at the club following the recent departure of Rafael Benitez - who has become Inter Milan coach on Wednesday.
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is reported as being the bookies' favourite to take over at Anfield with friend Kenny Dalglish having been put in charge of finding Benitez’s successor.
While Wright believes the new manager will have landed a very fortunate and attractive position, he sees the new manager as needing a lot of quality to unite a group of players and bring a failing club forwards.
"Managing Liverpool is still one of the biggest jobs in world football and it's a great time to come in," Wright told Liverpool's official club website.
"They haven't won the league for a long time and they've just finished seventh, not won anything and haven't had a good time.
"The person who comes in and turns that around will be a God.
"Is this one of the biggest and best jobs in football? Of course it is.
"We have got one of if not the best bunch of supporters that you could ever have, and they deserve more than what they've been getting at this moment in time.
"For everyone's sake I hope it's a quick process rather than a slow one.
"The new manager will need a lot of quality.
"It needs a very good man manager to unite that group of players they have.
"I think it is very important to get everything right behind the scenes now like it was with the old boot room. Manager's can come and go but the unity and everything that goes behind the club is constant."
Wright made 158 league appearances for Liverpool in the centre of defence during the 1990s.
