Liverpool have secured the services the man who groomed
Barcelona starlets Andres Iniesta, Bojan Krkic and Cesc
Fabregas.
Rafa Benitez is implementing an overhaul of Liverpool’s
Academy setup, and the Liverpool boss has confirmed Pep Segura as
the man to mentor the club’s future generation.
A former Academy director at Camp Nou, Segura oversaw the
development of Iniesta, Bojan and Fabregas, as well as Mikel
Arteta and Gerard Pique during a six-year stay.
He then moved to Olympiacos where he won the league and the
Greek Cup, but now his expertise will be the benefit of Liverpool
after he agreed to join the club on Wednesday evening.
"There is much work to do at the Academy," Benitez told
Sport.es.
"Pep has worked with some of the young talents in Spain and
knows how to reach the top, the first team.”
