Rafael Benitez issues Kenny Dalglish support
Benitez has respect for Reds legend Dalglish
Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has backed the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as interim Reds manager.
Benitez left the Anfield club in the summer and, after taking over at Inter Milan, has since been sacked by them.
Liverpool's fortunes have not fared much better as they have struggled in the Premier League and recently replaced Roy Hodgson with Dalglish.
"It will be much better with Kenny because he knows the club and what the fans want," Benitez told BBC Five Live.
Dalglish racked up eight league titles as a player and a manager with Liverpool between 1977 and 1991.
"He can talk with the players and they will feel and understand what it means to be a Liverpool player," added Benitez.
"I think that Kenny has been a very good appointment and, hopefully, it will be successful."
Liverpool finished seventh in the top-flight under Benitez last season as they missed out on a top four place and a spot in the lucrative Champions League.
