Liverpool FC has appointed Rob Page, the former head coach of Wales, to lead their Under-21 team. Page, who previously assisted Ryan Giggs, had a notable tenure as Wales' head coach, directing them to their first World Cup appearance since 1958. Under his guidance, Wales reached the last 16 in Euro 2020 but struggled at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Page replaces Barry Lewtas after a five-year term, with the aim of nurturing young players into first-team contenders, as highlighted by Liverpool's academy director Alex Inglethorpe.
Page spent four years in charge of Wales after serving as an assistant to Ryan Giggs, departing last June after they failed to qualify for Euro 2024.
Alex Inglethorpe, Liverpool's academy director, praised Rob Page for his wealth of experience as young players transition from academy to first-team football.
His recent achievements in guiding Wales included leading them to their first World Cup since 1958 but faced challenges in the tournament.
Liverpool finished 16th in the 26-team Premier League 2 table in 2024-25, with a performance of 27 points from 20 matches.
