NEW Liverpool coach Kevin Keen says he is “privileged, proud and honoured to be part of such a fantastic club.”
And the 44-year-old former West Ham midfielder is even prepared to forgive Kenny Dalglish for spoiling his Football League debut 25 years ago!
Dalglish appointed Keen as first team coach yesterday following Sammy Lee’s departure, with Steve Clarke moving up to assistant manager.
And Keen admitted that the Upton Park afternoon in September 1986 when the reigning champions put five past a side which had run Liverpool close to the title just four months earlier, had already been discussed.
“It’s already been mentioned,” joked Keen after completing his first training session at Melwood yesterday.
“I was a sub that day and we lost 5-2. I think Kenny was a sub as well but he scored a couple of goals. It wasn’t often that West Ham beat Liverpool!”
Keen signed a three year deal and took his first coaching session at Melwood as the Reds senior stars returned to pre-season training.
“I feel really privileged, proud and honoured to be here and to be part of such a fantastic club,” he explained.
