Liverpool yesterday appointed Kevin Keen as first-team coach.

Keen spent nine years on the coaching staff at West Ham United and was named caretaker manager on three occasions, most recently for the final game of last season, a 3-0 defeat at home to Sunderland.

He will work alongside Steve Clarke – also a first-team coach – at Anfield having signed a three-year deal, and will report with his new colleagues for the first day of pre-season training this morning.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dal-glish said: “I’m delighted that Kevin is joining us to work alongside Steve Clarke coaching the first team squad.

“He has previously worked with Steve at West Ham and has a good reputation and a good manner about him. He is highly respected in the game and will be a great addition to our technical staff.”

Keen made over 600 appearances in spells with West Ham, Wolves, Stoke City, Macclesfield and Wycombe.
