Liverpool have named Barry Lewtas as their new under-23s coach.
The 39-year-old will step up from his role as under-18s coach from next season. He replaces Neil Critchley, who left the Reds to take charge of League One side Blackpool in March.
Lewtas has enjoyed two successful seasons with the 18s at Kirkby, winning the FA Youth Cup last year – Liverpool’s first success in that competition since 2007.
