Alan Hansen: Kenny Dalglish Will Be Targeting Champions League Qualification

Alan Hansen believes that interim Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish will want the job permanently at the end of the season, and will be targeting Champions League qualification.

Dalglish, who previously spent 14 years at the Anfield club as a player and manager, was handed the reins until the end of the season after Roy Hodgson left the club.

When asked if Dalglish would want the job full-time, Hansen told the BBC's MOTD program this: “Absolutely. He Might not say that himself, but I know he is a complete football-man.

"Liverpool is in his heart, he thinks he's got unfinished business there.

"I think, he thinks he owes Liverpool, but I think Liverpool owe him.

"I think the supporters will get right behind him, but again, it's a results based industry, you've got to go out and win, and they've got big games coming up and obviously the players have underachieved."

Quizzed as to what supporters could expect for the remainder of the season, Hansen remained realistic, but insisted that his former team-mate would be targeting a top-four finish.
