Liverpool set to lose academy coach to Premier League rivals

Tim Jenkins is reportedly set to leave his role at Liverpool to join Gary O'Neil's backroom staff at Premier League rivals Bournemouth.

Jenkins has been with the Reds for 10 years in various positions, most recently as assistant coach to Marc Bridge-Wilkinson with the Under-18s. He has also worked with the Under-23s under Neil Critchley and spent time as an analyst. But DorsetLive report that Jenkins is set to make the move to the Cherries.

O'Neil spent six months as Liverpool's Under-23s assistant boss before joining Bournemouth, initially as a first-team coach under then-manager Jonathan Woodgate. He remained in place when Scott Parker took over from Woodgate in the summer of 2021. Parker led the Cherries to promotion back to the Premier League last season but was sacked early into this campaign after they were thumped 9-0 by Liverpool at Anfield in August.
