Liverpool have confirmed Michael Beale's return to the club.
Beale served as Liverpool Under-23s boss before leaving to join Brazilian side Sao Paulo as their assistant manager.
But he is now back to work primarily with the Under-5 to Under-11 age-groups.
Beale told Liverpoolfc.com: “It's fantastic to be back and it feels like I haven't left the place. It just feels like I'm back home at a special place with a lot of good friends and I hope to play a small part in what we are trying to do.
“I never really cut the cord because I was always in touch with the staff, the players and watching our games when I was living out in Brazil.
“I've got lots and lots of good friends here in Kirkby and at Melwood as well, so it's lovely to be home."
