Liverpool have reportedly assured Brendan Rodgers that they do not expect him to secure Champions League qualification in his first season in charge at Anfield.
The Northern Irishman is likely to be unveiled as the Merseyside club's new boss at 10am today after signing a three-year deal.
It is understood that the soon-to-be former Swansea City manager will be given the length of his contract to reach the top four as well as handed £25m to spend on players this summer, according to The Mirror.
The Reds' American owners claimed last year that reaching Champions League qualification was the minimum requirement for the season but following Liverpool's eighth-place finish, Kenny Dalglish was given the chop.
