Kenny Dalglish is returning to Liverpool to take up a senior role in their academy and as a global ambassador for the Anfield club.
The Scot made his name as a player at Anfield before going on to become manager with equal success.
Dalglish has maintained an abiding affection for the club and the feeling is mutual.
Not only will he be nurturing Liverpool's talented youngsters, he will also work with the commercial side of the business around the world.
Reds managing director Christian Purslow told the club's official website: "In our very first meeting Rafa and I agreed that we wanted to try and bring Kenny back to the club to help Rafa really drive forward our Academy which is at the heart of our plans for the future.
"We are delighted he has agreed to join us and I am sure he will be very successful in his new role back at the club."

"I don't expect the majority of fans to know what this means, I mean most of them believe football was invented by Sky Sports! This guy was a true gent when Football was with proper tackles, the likes of Souness and The Iron. This guy provided the magic! He just seemed to have a presence and this presence will rub of on the current players FACT! Oh how I wish for the old days, free football for all and players getting on with the game!"
