Page "Kenny Dalglish" Paragraph 2

Eight months later Dalglish made a return to football management with Blackburn Rovers, whom he led from the Second Division to win the Premier League in 1995.

Soon afterwards he stepped down as Blackburn manager to become Director of Football at the club, before leaving altogether in 1996.

In January 1997 Dalglish took over as manager at Newcastle United.

Newcastle finished runners-up in both the Premier League and FA Cup during his first season, but they could only finish 13th in 1997 – 98, which led to his dismissal the following season.

Dalglish went on to be appointed Director of Football at Celtic in 1999, and later manager, where he won the Scottish League Cup before an acrimonious departure the following year.
