According to Theathletic reports, Liverpool and long-serving youth training director Alex Inglethorpe have completed a contract extension. Inglethorpe's contract with Liverpool was supposed to expire next summer, but the club recognizes his work very much and the two sides hope to continue their cooperation. Liverpool are preparing to embark on a £20 million renovation of their youth training base, and they want 53-year-old Inglethorpe to oversee the project, which is expected to be completed in 2028.
In 2012, Inglethorpe joined Liverpool from Tottenham and served as U21 coach. Two years later, he was promoted to youth training director. As for the Liverpool youth academy, they have achieved great results after Inglethorpe took office. Arnold, Curtis Jones, Kelleher, Bradley, Kuanza, Morton and Dance have all entered the first team. When Liverpool won the Premier League title last season, players produced by the academy accounted for 18% of the playing time, a higher proportion than any other English top-flight club.
In the past five years, Liverpool has earned more than 200 million pounds in revenue from the sale of players produced by the youth academy. This summer alone, Liverpool will earn approximately £100 million (including floating fees) due to the departures of Alexander-Arnold, Kelleher, Nat Phillips, Kuanza, Morton and Ben Doak. Elliott joined Liverpool from Fulham for a transfer fee of 4.3 million pounds when he was 16 years old. He joined Villa on loan on the deadline day of this summer's transfer window. If he plays more than 10 games in all competitions, Villa are obliged to buy him out for 35 million pounds.
After joining Liverpool from Chelsea last year, the performance of young player Ngumoha left a deep impression on people. He has played seven games for Slaughter's team so far this season. In addition, young player Nyoni has already established himself in the first team.
Although there have been some personnel changes in the management of Liverpool's youth academy this season, Inglethorpe's position is very stable, which highlights the trust of the club management in him.
