Brendan Rodgers has shown the door to Liverpool's first-team coach Mike Marsh as part of a backroom reshuffle.

Reds boss Rodgers has reportedly decided to wield the axe after his meeting with Kop chiefs earlier this week.

Liverpool missed out on the Champions League, finishing eight points off fourth-placed Manchester United in the table.

Rodgers has taken action, with Marsh's contract - which expired at the end of this past season - not being renewed.

Marsh told pals he was “distraught and shocked” to be let go, according to The Sun.

The 45-year-old came through the Anfield ranks as a player, making 101 appearances for the Reds.

He joined Liverpool's academy as a coach in 2009 before gaining promotion to Rodgers' staff three years later.
