http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18073446Kenny Dalglish has been sacked as Liverpool manager.
"After a careful and deliberative review of the season, the club came to the decision that a change was appropriate," read a statement.
"Results in the Premier League have been disappointing and we believe to build on the progress that has already been made, we need to make a change."
Dalglish said his departure had been handled in a "honourable, respectful and dignified way".
Owners Fenway Sports Group stressed that the decision to remove Dalglish "was not reached lightly or hastily" and that the search for a new manager would begin immediately.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez and former boss Rafael Benitez have been installed as early favourites to fill the vacancy.
