Liverpool chief Damien Comolli is pleased with this week's promotion.
Comolli's role has been extended to oversee all football-related matters outside of first team training and selection.
"It covers pretty much all of the football side," said the Frenchman.
"Obviously I'm not getting involved in anything to do with team selection or training, that's the manager's remit.
"It's basically a day-to-day relationship with the manager and his coaching staff, it's also medical and sports science, performance analysis, player liaison, team travel, scouting and negotiating transfer contracts. A big part of it is the academy."
