Liverpool Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Rodolfo Borrell as head of academy coaching, with Tottenham's Alex Inglethorpe replacing him as reserve team coach.
Borrell arrived at the club in July 2009 and has overseen the development of several players now in the first team, initially as U18s coach and latterly as boss of the reserves.
His promotion has created an opportunity for Inglethorpe, a former midfielder with Watford, Leyton Orient and Exeter who has worked with the U18s at Spurs with distinction for several years.
Frank McParland continues with his role as Academy director, with first-team manager Brendan Rodgers praising his contribution to the club's continued commitment to developing exciting young talent.
Rodgers commented: "I'm delighted that Alex has decided to join us in our journey to create a philosophy that runs directly through the club. He has many years of experience in youth football and also managed at senior level. His unswerving belief and commitment to our way of working will bring continued success in this role.
"I've been extremely impressed with Rodolfo in my short period at the club. His thinking is very similar to mine in the best way to educate and develop players. His role will make richer the philosophy we are creating at the club from U9s through to the first team.
"I'm also delighted with the great work done by Frank McParland in leading the Academy and I look forward to working closely with him to continually develop our talents to play for the first team."
The appointments have been welcomed by McParland.
"I'm delighted for Rodolfo," he said. "He's been heavily involved with the club for three and a half years as U18s manager and then reserve team coach.
"He brings invaluable experience to this new role and I'm sure it's going to be a smooth transition.
"Alex also has great experience from working with the U18s at Spurs for many years, where he has helped to produce some fantastic players.
"I'm sure he is going to help us push on at academy level. It's a fantastic appointment and I'm looking forward to working with him over the coming years."

Well reserve team is a step up from the academy and since we don't have a reserve side anymore you can understand his reasons for leaving. That and the fact that Liverpool are the second biggest club in the world behind Newcastle.

I'm really disappointed that we have lost Inglethorpe. He really looks like he had a positive impact on the style of play are academy prospects have adopted.

You seem to spend a lot of your time guessing, normally to support to very negative spin on everything to do with THFC. Are you generally a glass half-full type of person or did something happen to make you despair so?

I dont think sherwood would be breathing down his neck as both Ramsey and Alex have done a brilliant job with the academy its Sherwood who should be under pressure atm

Why's that? His U21 team is playing some great football and getting fantastic results, with several players putting themselves into consideration for the first team. What more can he realistically do?

Me too. The couple of times I've watched his young team play I've been bloody impressed. I think this is a real loss. He seemed to be coaching exactly what I like to see in players. Great work ethic, coherent pressing and possession football. I really hope we make a shrewd appointment to replace him.

His U21 team? you mean Ramsey's team, his job is to break the gap between hot prospect and squad member and he didnt do a good job last season with some of the loans(other than the prem loans and Kane) and this season we have alot of good prospects who may be looking to leave or fear stalling in their progression

I thought he was in charge of the U21 team, alongside his other 'duties', I stand corrected then!

I have seen him at some games but it has been Ramsey on the touchline when I have seen the U21
Indeed. I get the impression him and Andre don't get on at all well (hence AVB pushing for a DoF to come in over his head). I suspect Sherwood will be next out the door.
Andre's already had a pop about his lack of contacts/transfer experience meaning he wasn't a candidate for the DoF job, and didn't seem disappointed by him being linked to Blackburn.

Posted earlier in the youth thread : http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/ind...18-leagues-and-other-youth-news.88939/page-46
BTW, Alex Inglethorpe has now left to join Liverpool.
Keiran McKenna was the coach in this weekend's Spurs u 18 match, so might have been promoted - Keiran used to play for Spurs as a talented CM but had to retire aged about 21 due to injury and took some sort of Sports Science degree. He re-appeared at Loghborough University (who have one of the best university football teams around), I think as a Physio, before rejoining Spurs as head of Performance Analysis for youth over last summer.
So if Keiran has got the job as u 18 coach, he comes without the experience Alex had of managing Exeter and some youth management experience before joining Spurs - hope he has picked up lots by watching Alex and other youth coaches since he has been back.
It will be interesting to see who is coach for u 19 NextGen series matches.
