Liverpool part ways with Brendan Rodgers's assistants?

Liverpool have reportedly parted company with members of former manager Brendan Rodgers's coaching staff in preparation for Jurgen Klopp taking charge.

Rodgers was dismissed by the Merseysiders on Sunday after three years in charge, with former Borussia Dortmund boss Klopp expected to be named as his successor.

The Reds are reportedly looking to have the German in situ at Anfield by the end of this week.

According to The Telegraph, Gary McAllister and Sean O'Driscoll, who were brought in by Rodgers over the summer, will not be part of Klopp's backroom staff.

Zeljko Buvac, who was Klopp's assistant at Dortmund, is thought to be joining the 48-year-old at Liverpool along with coach Peter Krawietz.

Liverpool are 10th in the Premier League table.
