Back in the Red: Sammy Lee has been appointed assistant manager at Liverpool
Lee, 49, returns to the Reds after being sacked as Bolton manager earlier in the season.
He has been appointed by boss Rafael Benitez following the departure earlier this month of first-team coach Alex Miller to take up a management job in Japan.
As a player Lee won the title, the League Cup and European Cup during the 1980s before taking on a role as reserve coach and then first-team coach at the club under Graeme Souness and Gerard Houllier, respectively.
He effectively replaces Pako Ayesteran, who left the club at the beginning of the 2007/08 season.
