Sean O'Driscoll has reportedly emerged as the leading candidate to become Liverpool's new assistant manager.

Liverpool have been searching for a coach to work alongside Brendan Rodgers since first-team coach Mike Marsh and assistant manager Colin Pascoe were dismissed earlier this month when the club reacted to a disappointing campaign with a reshuffle of the backroom staff.

According to The Mirror, former Nottingham Forest and Bristol City boss O'Driscoll, who is currently in charge of England Under-19s, has agreed to replace Pascoe and his appointment will be confirmed in the coming days.

It remains unclear whether Liverpool will look to find a replacement for Marsh or promote someone from within the club.
