Reports suggest Kenny Dalglish may be in line to make a return to Liverpool Football Club just over 18 years after leaving the club.
Anfield boss Rafael Benitez is understood to have sounded out his 58 year old predecessor about joining his staff with a roving brief between the academy, Melwood as well as the first team.
Benitez's recent contract negotiations saw him claim more responsibility over various facets of the club.
Preliminary talks are understood to have gone well. Dalglish has been a long term advocate of the manager and not only his methods but track record.
Benitez is also known to be an admirer of Dalglish as a player not to mention his achievements while in the Anfield hotseat.
If an agreement can be reached it will be the Liverpool legend's first active involvement in football since leaving Celtic where he was a Director of Football as well as interim manager until the summer of 2000.
