Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Shrewsbury Town
coach
John McMahon, in a deal that will see him jump three divisions
from League 2 to the Premier League.
The brother of former
Liverpool player Steve McMahon, the former Preston
North End player is to become a reserve team coach with the
Reds.
The former Shrewsbury man stated that he was not able to turn down
the chance to work at such a big club, and is looking forward to
taking Liverpool to the Premier League title.
Speaking on Liverpool's official website, McMahon said, "If any
Premier League club comes knocking at your door it is something
that you have to consider and with it being Liverpool it was a job
that I couldn't refuse.
"To work with a manager of the quality of Rafa Benitez and
an assistant manager like Sammy Lee is brilliant and it's a place
where I can continue to learn and develop as a coach and hopefully
give them something back.
"Ultimately I would have liked to have left the club with them
being promoted but it wasn't the case.
"I've really enjoyed my time with Shrewsbury and the chairman,
manager, the staff, players and spectators have been fantastic to
me."
Reds manager Rafael Benitez is said to be very happy with the
new appointment.
