Liverpool have confirmed Gary McAllister and Sean O'Driscoll have left their roles following Jurgen Klopp's arrival as manager.
Former first-team coach McAllister will remain at the club in an ambassadorial role but O'Driscoll, who was assistant manager under Brendan Rodgers, Glen Driscoll (head of performance), and Chris Davies (head of opposition analysis) have all left the club.
A statement on the Liverpool website read: "The club would like to place on record its thanks to all four men for the professionalism, commitment and dedication they have displayed during their time here, and the positive impact they have had in helping to support football operations and the team.
"The club would also like to take this opportunity to wish Sean, Glen and Chris every success in the future."
McAllister and O'Driscoll were only appointed in the summer following the shock departures of Rodgers' former backroom team of Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh.
Klopp is expected to bring in his former Dortmund assistant, Bosnian Zeljko Buvac.
Buvac is known as 'The Brain' due to his tactical knowledge and Klopp has described him as a "master of every form of training".
The pair have known each other since 1992 when they were team-mates at Mainz. After their playing career, Klopp appointed Buvac as his assistant when he took over at Mainz in 2001.
Klopp could also bring another of his former Dortmund coaches with him. Peter Krawietz, who never played professional football, specialises as a video analyst.
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes Klopp would represent "a very good appointment", while another ex-Germany international who played for the Reds, Karl-Heinz Riedle, has praised the 48-year-old's coaching acumen.
