Clarke’s Liverpool exit is confirmed

Steve Clarke has left Liverpool, the League Managers Association has confirmed.

The appointment of Brendan Rodgers last week means Clarke, assistant to predecessor Kenny Dalglish, will leave Anfield.

Rodgers has yet to name a No 2 but Liverpool and the 39-year-old’s former club Swansea have agreed a compensation package which sees three of his backroom staff move to Anfield, including his Liberty Stadium assistant, Colin Pascoe.

Performance analyst Chris Davies and head of sports science and medicine Glen Driscoll have also joined the Anfield club.
