Liverpool first-team coach Alex Miller will take over as manager of Japanese side JEF United Chiba after the two parties reached an agreement, the J League club announced on Thursday.
The 58-year-old is expected to arrive in Japan on Saturday to start work at Chiba and will attend their league match against Kyoto Sanga.
Chiba are currently bottom of the J. League standings after collecting just two points from 11 games so far this season before Croatian coach Josip Kuze was sacked on Wednesday.
Improve
"We are convinced that Mr Miller is a wonderful person who can improve our team," Chiba president Hirotake Miki said in a statement.
"We, as the whole club, would like to work together with our new manager to focus on our games for the rest of the season."
Former St Mirren and Hibernian manager Miller joined Liverpool in 1999 as chief scout but became first-team coach following the arrival of Rafa Benitez in 2004.
Miller becomes the second prominent member of the Spaniard's backroom staff to quit Anfield this season following the departure of countryman Pako Ayesteran, his assistant, last August.
Replacement
Benitez paid tribute to Miller and confirmed he will seek a replacement for the Scot in the summer.
"It is very positive news for Alex. This is a very good opportunity for him to
coach in Japan," Benitez told the club's official website.
"It means we will be promoting some of the existing coaching staff and also
over the summer we will be looking to bring in a replacement.
"We have some names and options but need more discussion first.
