Frank McParland has saluted the contribution of Pep Segura and Steve Cooper for their role in revamping the reserve team set-up.
The duo took temporary charge of team affairs following the departure of John McMahon in early March and the Academy Supremo has been pleased with how they have handled a difficult situation.
He told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Obviously Pep and Steve Cooper have worked in the Academy program for the past two years and we are building it up from the foundations. The reserves now adopt the same sort of training as the U18s do.
"I know they have both really enjoyed it. It's not been easy for them because the U18s and the reserves have struggled over the past few weeks because we have so many international call-ups.
"There have also been lads involved at first-team level due to the injuries we've suffered so it's not been easy to put out a settled side.
"It's all been a bit of balancing act but I think we are all moving in the right direction in terms of player development and what they have learned over the past month or so will put them in good stead going into the start of next season."
