‘Pelle’ returns to Liverpool

Liverpool have confirmed the appointment of Mauricio Pellegrino as their new first-team coach. Pellegrino will be working on the defence as well as the reserves. Pellegrino played 12 games during the 2005 season but was released the following season.

Rafa told the offish site, “His role will be first-team coach, and he’ll also carry out specialist training sessions.”

“He can also work specifically with the defence, and also the reserves. Pellegrino has a winning mentality. He won the Intercontinental Cup before going to Spain with Barcelona and Valencia.”

“He has a lot of passion. When I asked him to come he was very pleased, but first he wanted to find out if there was a school where his three children could play good football. He is a football man.”

The depth and experience he as to offer to the players would be beneficial to the players.
