Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has revealed his confidence in Anfield manager Brendan Rodgers.
After a tough end to the Premier League season , doubts had surrounded whether or not the Reds boss would remain at the club for next season.
However, the Liverpool hierarchy have confirmed Rodgers will lead the club next season and England midfielder Lallana is convinced he is the right man to take the club forward.
“Of course I am delighted he’s still here,” Lallana said. “In my eyes, there wasn’t really any doubt in him being here for next season.
“It’s been an up-and-down season but we’ve got a lot of new players and, off the back of such a promising year last year, when they nearly won the league, the expectation was always going to be really high.”
Liverpool were unable to secure a top four finish and lost out at the semi-final stages in the Capital One Cup and the FA Cup.
Lallana rates Rodgers’ highly as a manager and he feels the Liverpool squad will improve under the Northern Irishman’s watch.
“He’s a great coach. He’s very good tactically and I am always going to learn -players are always going to get better when he is coaching,” he added.
Liverpool are 19.00 to win the Premier League next season and Lallana admits they will have to find a way of coping without inspirational captain Steven Gerrard.
“He’s irreplaceable because of the type of player he has been,” Lallana said
“You won’t want anyone to have the weight on their shoulders that they are coming in directly to replace Steven, it’s just impossible.
“So we are going to have to find a different way of winning games and playing games.”
