Liverpool have confirmed that they have appointed Sean O'Driscoll as their new assistant manager.
The 58-year-old has left his position as England Under-19s boss to become part of Brendan Rodgers's backroom staff at Anfield.
The Reds had been without an assistant since dismissing Colin Pascoe last month.
"I am excited to be joining one of the world's most iconic football clubs," O'Driscoll told Liverpool's official website.
"The hallmark of any successful club is its culture and that comes from the people who work there, from the chief executive and first-team manager to those people behind the scenes whose faces may not be known but who are the lifeblood of the club.
"From the moment I drove into Melwood last week and was greeted by Kenny the gateman, I could not have been made to feel more welcome. If you are going to have any level of success these people are as crucial as the players; from my experiences so far it is clear everyone wants to help this club succeed."
Rodgers has also appointed Pepijn Lijnders to the newly-created role of first-team development coach, following a 12-month stint at the Liverpool academy.
