Brendan Rodgers admits he sought assurances that no director of football would be appointed alongside him before taking the reins at Liverpool.
The Reds officially unveiled their new manager on Friday, with Rodgers having been lured away from Premier League rivals Swansea.
He is the man charged with the task of returning the Merseyside outfit to the top of the domestic game and back into the UEFA Champions League elite.
A successful spell at the Liberty Stadium convinced the Anfield board that he was the right man for the job, with his philosophies matching those of a club steeped in trophy-winning history.
Rodgers has, however, made it clear to the Liverpool
hierarchy that he wants to do things his own way - and the Reds have agreed that they will not be looking for a successor to Damien Comolli, who left his role as director of football in April.

"That was one of the issues that I brought up when I was speaking with the club, that I wouldn't work directly with someone in that role," said Rodgers.
