Liverpool have confirmed that Rob Page has moved to Anfield and will become the new manager of their U21s after his spell as Wales boss came to an end.

Only a penalty shootout denied them a spot at Euro 2024 and a third successive major tournament.

Throughout his time in charge he continued to back youth and two men who are at Liverpool - Owen Beck and Lewis Koumas - were both given opportunities and have become Welsh internationals.

The club's Academy director Alex Inglethorpe said: "Rob brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience to a key role as young players look to bridge that gap from Academy prospect to first-team footballer.

His recent achievements in guiding Wales to the last 16 at Euro 2020 before qualifying for the 2022 World Cup speak for themselves but perhaps less heralded is the work that took place during his time in charge of the national team, which saw numerous pathway players make it into the senior squad.

"This is something we have seen first-hand at Liverpool with several of our Academy players making significant progress on the international stage under Rob's guidance.

This level of experience in transitioning young footballers towards the professional game and on to the highest levels of domestic and international football will be a significant resource for all at the Academy, especially the players.
