Former Liverpool player and manager Kenny Dalglish has returned to the club as a member of the board 17 months after being sacked as Reds boss.
The iconic Anfield figure has accepted an invitation to become non-executive board director and will take up his position with immediate effect.
"It is an honour and privilege to be asked to return to Liverpool as a director of the club," said the Scot, fired in May 2012 after a disappointing end to the season in his second spell in charge.
"I have always said if there is anything I could do to help this club I would make myself available - when the call came I had no hesitation.
"I am looking forward to working with the board of directors and contributing to the strategic issues that affect Liverpool Football Club.
"Liverpool has given me and my family so much since we came here just over 36 years ago and my priority is and will always be to have the club's best interests at heart."
Owners Fenway Sports Group wanted to bring back Dalglish in order to benefit from his vast experience and close affinity with supporters, who still regularly sing his name at Anfield.
"We are delighted Kenny has accepted our offer to join Liverpool as a non-executive board director and we are sure he will make a valuable contribution to the club's strategy," principal owner John Henry said.
"Kenny has a unique relationship with our supporters and embodies everything that is special about Liverpool.
"We are thrilled that the club will benefit from his experience and passion for the club and our supporters.
