Kenny Dalglish would give Liverpool FC “its heart and soul back”, says Glenn Hysen

GLENN HYSEN believes Kenny Dalglish is the man to give Liverpool 'its heart and soul back'.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.Hysen was part of Liverpool's last title-winning side under Dalglish 20 years ago.'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. 'In my eyes Kenny is the man for the role, on a temporary basis or for longer.'Forget that he has been out of management for a while.'The fact is that Liverpool is in a mess. It needs it heart and soul back - and Kenny is the man to rediscover it.'Hysen is also confident Dalglish could unify the players and convince the likes of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres to remain at Anfield.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.'It is not cosy.'It used to be that when you played for Liverpool, you were all part of one big family; not any more, it seems.'There are too many nationalities in the dressing room now.'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.'When I played for Liverpool, we had many more British players in the team than today.'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.
