Liverpool are set to add to their coaching staff this week, as they are close to finalising a deal to bring in Vitor Matos from his current role at Porto.
Matos is expected to take the position formerly occupied by Pepijn Lijnders, who is now Jurgen Klopp's assistant – a role that he moved into last year following the sudden departure of Zeljko Buvac.
According to Standard Sport, Matos will be tasked with ensuring that there is a smooth transition between the academy and the first team, enabling the current crop of youngsters to make an impression in the Premier League in the future.
