Ex-Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam has become part of Everton's backroom staff, taking on a role as set-piece coach.

The Scot has joined forces with David Moyes, who has also appointed Alan Irvine as his assistant - a role he held during Moyes' last spell with the Toffees.

On Adam, Moyes said: "Charlie is someone I have had several chats with since rejoining the club. He will be helping with set-piece situations, an area he excelled in as a player and one I believe he can really help us with now as a coach."

The 39-year-old was most recently head coach of now League Two side Fleetwood Town, who he managed between December 2023 and December 2024.

Adam is not the only player to cross the Merseyside divide for a coaching role in recent years, with former Everton defender John Heitinga now an assistant first-team coach under Arne Slot at Liverpool.
