Pep Lijnders has enjoyed promotion at Liverpool after being confirmed as Jurgen Klopp's assistant manager.

The Mirror says Lijnders has officially been named Zeljko Buvac's replacement as Jurgen Klopp's assistant manager at Liverpool.

The talented Dutch coach has technically been in the role since returning to Anfield last summer after Buvac dramatically left his post as Klopp's No.2.

Until this Monday Lijnders' job title was left blank on Liverpool's official website, but this has now been updated to read assistant manager.

Lijnders wasn't able to fill the void on paper initially due to issues with Buvac's contract.
