Dirk backs Brendan
Dirk Kuyt believes new manager Brendan Rodgers will bring the good times back to Liverpool FC.
The Dutch international is set to bring an end to six years at Anfield after informing the Anfield club today that he has agreed a deal with Turkish side Fenerbahce.
The transfer is expected to be completed in the next few days, and speaking exclusively to Liverpoolfc.tv, and having spoken with Swansea goalkeeper and Dutch stopper Michel Vorm, the former No.18 insists Rodgers is the right man for LFC.
"I think it's great for the club that they have finally announced the new manager," said Kuyt.
"From what I have heard from Michel Vorm, who is with me in the national team, he is a great manager and he told me he will be perfect for Liverpool and he will definitely lift the club up to a higher state."
Kuyt also wanted to make clear that his decision to leave Anfield has no bearing whatsoever on the new manager being appointed at Anfield.
He added: "I would also like to say my decision to leave Liverpool was nothing to do with the new manager coming in whatsoever. I just had the feeling that I had to go somewhere else for a new experience after six years. I made the decision but it's not about the new manager. I have great memories from my experience with the club.
"I'm sure Liverpool will improve under the new manager. Liverpool has a great squad of players and I'm sure with this manager they will do well. From the bottom of my heart I wish them all the best, wish the new manager all the best and I hope they will be very successful."
