Liverpool has replaced reserve team coach John McMahon with academy technical director Pep Segura.
The Spaniard takes over the role on a temporary basis until the end of the season as the club prepares for a proper restructuring of their youth system this coming summer.
Segura has a reputation for aiding some of the finest players in the game with their development, helping to bring Spanish stars Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas through Barcelona's youth academy.
Liverpool's Under-16s coach Steve Cooper will assist Segura for the remainder of the reserves' season.
"The club has conducted a thorough review of all operations based at our academy as part of our overall strategy to constantly improve our youth and professional player performance," said a club spokesman.
"We have a clear vision of the way ahead and a number of changes will now be put in place to help us to build on the considerable progress already made.
"Pep Segura will step in as reserve team manager on a temporary basis for the remainder of this term only, before a revised structure is put in place this summer.
"He will be assisted over the next few months by Steve Cooper."
