GLENN HYSEN believes Kenny Dalglish is the man to give Liverpool 'its heart and soul back'.[LNB]The former Swedish defender was signed by Dalglish for £600,000 from Fiorentina in 1989 and wants the Scotsman to succeed Rafa Benitez in the Anfield hot-seat.[LNB]Hysen was part of Liverpool's last title-winning side under Dalglish 20 years ago.[LNB]'I remain in touch regularly with the staff and a number of players at Liverpool and I can tell there is no doubt that Kenny would love to make an emotional return as manager,' he said.[LNB] 'In my eyes Kenny is the man for the role, on a temporary basis or for longer.[LNB]'Forget that he has been out of management for a while.[LNB]'The fact is that Liverpool is in a mess. It needs it heart and soul back - and Kenny is the man to rediscover it.'[LNB]Hysen is also confident Dalglish could unify the players and convince the likes of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres to remain at Anfield.[LNB]He added: 'I have been in the players' lounge after matches in recent times and witnessed Spanish players in one corner, French players in another, and so on.[LNB]'It is not cosy.[LNB]'It used to be that when you played for Liverpool, you were all part of one big family; not any more, it seems.[LNB]'There are too many nationalities in the dressing room now.[LNB]'I say this as a former overseas player, of course. But foreign players tend not to know the story of the club or how a fan feels if we lose to Everton.[LNB]'When I played for Liverpool, we had many more British players in the team than today.[LNB]'The likes of Ian Rush and Steve McMahon knew the pain and the glory and what it all meant to the club. They felt it much more than I ever could.
