Liverpool Agree To Sign John McMahon

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Shrewsbury Town coach

John McMahon, in a deal that will see him jump three divisions from League 2 to the Premier League.

The brother of former Liverpool player Steve McMahon, the former Preston North End player is to become a reserve team coach with the Reds.

The former Shrewsbury man stated that he was not able to turn down the chance to work at such a big club, and is looking forward to taking Liverpool to the Premier League title.

Speaking on Liverpool's official website, McMahon said, "If any Premier League club comes knocking at your door it is something that you have to consider and with it being Liverpool it was a job that I couldn't refuse.

"To work with a manager of the quality of Rafa Benitez and an assistant manager like Sammy Lee is brilliant and it's a place where I can continue to learn and develop as a coach and hopefully give them something back.

"Ultimately I would have liked to have left the club with them being promoted but it wasn't the case.

"I've really enjoyed my time with Shrewsbury and the chairman, manager, the staff, players and spectators have been fantastic to me."

Reds manager Rafael Benitez is said to be very happy with the new appointment.
