Liverpool chief Rick Parry has welcomed the appointment of former Reds defender Mauricio Pellegrini to the club's coaching staff.
"Rafa always spoke admiringly of Pellegrino in terms of his knowledge of the game. When Mauricio first joined us, the manager spoke about him being one of the real winners in the dressing room at Valencia. Rafa has been impressed with the way he has adapted to coaching since retiring as a player, not least with the younger players.
"Mauricio now gets the chance to step up and develop further at Anfield."
