Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says that the task of bringing the glory days back to Anfield is so big that it may not be achieved during his time in charge.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that the task of bringing the glory days back to Anfield is so big that it may not be fully achieved during his reign.

The 39-year-old took charge of the five-time European champions on a three-year contract last month and he has described his job as an 'immense challenge'.

He said: "We have to recognise the challenge is immense, let's be under no illusion about that. [Everyone knows] the club and where it was at over the years, but we have to ask, will any club ever do that again? That's a big question.

"I genuinely think a club of our status and value to the football world, we can go again. But it's going to take time, and whether it will be in my time, I'm not so sure.

"One thing I can assure the fans though, I'm going to fight for my life to try to get this model of play that hopefully can change the history of the club."

Liverpool finished eighth in the Premier League table last season - 37 points behind champions Manchester City. However, they qualified for the Europa League as a result of winning the Carling Cup.
