Hodgson leaves Liverpool
Liverpool have confirmed that manager Roy Hodgson has left the club by mutual consent.
Hodgson had been under huge pressure following poor results this season and the decision came as no surprise with the club 12th in the Barclays Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone.
Kenny Dalglish will take control of team matters for Sunday's third round FA Cup tie with Manchester United at Old Trafford and for the rest of the season.
In a statement on the club's website, principal owner John Henry said: "We are grateful for Roy's efforts over the past six months, but both parties thought it in the best interests of the club that he stand down from his position as team manager.
"We wish him all the best for the future."
