Jurgen Klopp has appointed Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz to his backroom team at Liverpool.

The duo's arrivals were confirmed this morning following the club's official announcement last night that Klopp has been installed as their new manager.

Buvac is expected to move to Anfield as Klopp's number two as the pair have worked together for many years after first meeting as teammates at Mainz 05 in the 1990s.

Klopp appointed Buvac as his assistant during his coaching stint at Mainz in 2001, and the pair continued their working relationship when the German coach began his seven-year spell at Borussia Dortmund in 2008.

Krawietz also joins the new-look Liverpool backroom team after working for Klopp as his chief scout over the last 14 years.

The new additions will replace Sean O'Driscoll and Gary McAllister.
