Jamie Carragher is relishing the prospect of working under Roy Hodgson.
The former Fulham boss was today announced as the 18th Liverpool manager after agreeing a three-year deal.
He will become the fourth coach to preside over the Anfield hotseat during Carragher's playing career following Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier and Rafael Benitez.
Even at 32, the vice-captain is always eager to learn and improve - and he cannot wait to team up with a manager whose CV boasts success in both domestic and international football.
Carragher told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of working with Roy Hodgson as he's got such a great reputation in the game and is one of the most experienced managers in world football.
"After this period of uncertainty, his appointment has given us all a lift."
Steven Gerrard today backed the appointment of Roy Hodgson by declaring: "He's the right man for LFC."
Hodgson was this morning announced as the successor to Rafael Benitez after a four-week search by the club.
The former Fulham boss agreed a three-year deal and is now charged with getting Liverpool back among the Champions League elite.
Club captain Gerrard is confident Hodgson will prove a successful acquisition.
"The club have made a good appointment in Roy Hodgson," the 30-year-old told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"Rafa left a few weeks ago and I know the club were determined to take their time and get the right man for the job.
"Roy is hugely experienced and I believe he is the right man for Liverpool.
"I think it's been worth the wait and I'm sure he's just keen now to get on with it and start to quickly put in place his plans for the new season."
