Blackburn chief executive Derek Shaw admits Henning Berg was far from the club's first choice but backs him to succeed.
Promotion
Rovers' global advisor Shebby Singh expects the Norwegian to deliver promotion given the squad at his disposal.
"At this moment I think the ambition is clear - we have to get back into the Premier League," said Singh.
"There's no other consideration, there's no other thoughts.
"I think we've put a nice balanced squad together. A big squad where we have players for the short-term, we have players for the long-term and the immediate-term.
"Henning's here now and when he looks at the squad, if he feels whichever term needs to be reinforced we will do that."
And Singh is convinced Berg can use the experiences he has gained in his playing career to achieve the club's goals.
"When you talk to him you can see certain qualities that over the years you have seen Sir Alex Ferguson express in his interviews, Kenny Dalglish express in his interviews," added Singh.
"Obviously Henning has learnt a lot from the great managers that he's worked with and at the end of the day we feel that we've got the right person."
