Liverpool have relieved manager Rafa Benitez of his duties with immediate effect.


A statement on the club's official website said Kenny Dalglish and Sammy Lee would take charge of the first team until further notice.

The statement from managing director Christopher Purslow revealed the Liverpool board felt it had to act now.
The statement read: The board believes that a change in managerial direction is the correct option at this time.

"The club will keep supporters completely up to date in respect of any managerial appointment but, in the meantime, Kenny Dalglish and Sammy Lee will prepare the team for our important game in Portugal tonight."

Benitez later made this statement.

"I am obviously very disappointed with the club's decision.
"Although I am extremely sad to be leaving Liverpool, I am very proud of my achievements during my time as manager, especially having led the team to victory in the Champions league.

"It has been a fantastic experience and I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all of the players, past and present, and also to my staff.

"Finally, I would like to thank the fans for their support and wish the club every success in the future."
