Former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier is delighted to see Roy Hodgson installed as manager at Anfield.
Houllier famously won a treble with Liverpool in 2001 and feels his pal Hodgson is the right man to put some silverware in the Anfield trophy cabinet.
"I spoke briefly to Roy on Thursday night to congratulate him," said Houllier. "I didn't need to give him any advice. Liverpool is a big club with a big heart, where there is a special link between the people and the players and staff. I'm sure Roy is the ideal man to make it work.
"Obviously we need to know if any players will leave and who will come in, but Roy has a tradition of success and I'm sure he'll bring that at some stage.
"The competition is getting harder all the time but I know he is up for the challenge. He's a good choice for Liverpool, for the people and for the fans."
