Andoni Iraola is set to make the first additions to his Liverpool backroom staff.
Iraola was installed as Arne Slot’s successor in the Anfield hot seat last month and wasted little time in attempting to source several of his ex-Bournemouth lieutenants.
Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper served as the Basque’s assistants during his three-year spell on the South Coast but were still under contract following his exit.
First-team analyst Tom Webber is another technical figure sought for the start of Iraola’s fledgling tenure despite also still being employed by the Cherries.
However the trio are on the verge of joining the Reds’ ranks with Elphick set to be confirmed as assistant manager and Cooper taking up duties as first-team coach.
A compensation package is understood to have been struck with Bournemouth to secure the pair’s release as Iraola’s plans for the forthcoming season take shape.
Elphick recently turned down the opportunity to take his first frontline role in management with Championship outfit Bristol City to stay at the Vitality Stadium.
However the former defender’s plans to stay as part of Marco Rose’s coaching staff have changed following Iraola’s swift appointment as Slot’s replacement.
Fitness coach Pablo de la Torre is also set to make the move to Merseyside as a free agent after leaving the Vitality Stadium at the end of the previous campaign.
