Liverpool cult hero looks unrecognisable in their new manager role - as former full-back is pictured on the touch-line in Italy's third division

A former Liverpool cult hero now looks unrecognisable in their new managerial role.

The player, who joined Liverpool in a £7million deal back in 2008, has taken on a number of coaching roles and is now first-team manager at Serie C side Pro Vercelli.

He joined the Reds to fill the gap of departing full-back John Arne Riise, who joined Roma that summer, but only made 18 appearances in two years.

And, if you were struggling to name the player already, you won't be helped by the tremendous difference in his physical appearance - namely with his new hairstyle.
