Liverpool chief Comolli tribute to Dalglish ahead of Wembley return

Liverpool chief Damien Comolli has paid tribute to the work of Kenny Dalglish ahead of Sunday's Carling Cup final.

Dalglish has Liverpool on the brink of ending a six-year trophy drought.

Comolli told liverpoolfc.tv: "It's not only about that - I think it is more than taking the club back to Wembley and winning four or five Carling Cup games. It's about everything. When he took over last year in January, we said all along at the time we thought he was the right person to do it at the time. When he got the job on a permanent basis last summer we also said he was the obvious choice and it was a great opportunity for the club to have Kenny in charge.

"Since then he's said several times - and I think the chairman has said as well - the team and the squad has improved. We've got a fantastic opportunity to win a trophy on Sunday and the season is definitely not finished beyond that. He's done a great job and I've got to say that Steve Clarke, Kevin Keen and John Achterberg next to him have done a great job as well."
