The pair were informed of the decision yesterday by Ian Ayre.

The men represent some of the last ties to the Rafa Benitez regime at Liverpool, and they have been instrumental in some positive changes to LFC's youth system in the past few years.

Rodolfo Borrell, brought in by Rafa from Barcelona's famed youth system, was a popular figure amongst Liverpool's youth players - and there has been some surprise expressed by the youngsters.

Liverpool have declined to comment on the decision, but are likely to announce new figures in the Academy team in the next few days.
