Beyond that, the Liverpool hierarchy has always wanted Dalglish to remain an active part of the club in some capacity.
He first returned to Liverpool after an 18-year break in 2009, taking on the role as a global representative, similar to that of Sir Bobby Charlton for Manchester United.
The possibility of assuming a similar position was hinted at when Dalglish left last summer.
Dalglish said at the time: "I said when first approached about coming back as manager that I would always be of help if I can at any time and that offer remains the same."
Liverpool's principal owner, John W Henry, also gave the impression there would be a role back at the club when Dalglish was ready because he is "part of the family".
"He is in many ways the heart and soul of the club. He personifies everything that is good about Liverpool Football Club," Henry said last summer.
"He has always put the club and its supporters first. Kenny will always be a part of the family at Anfield."
