STAFF
PROFILE
Steve Clarke was appointed first-team coach at Liverpool by Kenny Dalglish
following his return to the dugout in January 2011.
Born in Saltcoats, Scotland, the 47-year-old is well schooled in the art of
football, having been both a player and coach for a number of teams.
He started his playing career in the Scottish Football League for St Mirren as a
defender before being transferred to Chelsea in the spring of 1987. Clarke made an
impressive 421 appearances for the London side, winning three major trophies including the
FA Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. In 2005 he was voted into Chelsea's centenary XI for
his role as right-back.
Following his retirement as a player, Steve moved into coaching. In 1988 he joined
Newcastle United as assistant manager to Ruud Gullit. Clarke was to become caretaker
manager for the Magpies following Gullit's resignation, taking charge of one match where
his side lost to Manchester United.
Soon Clarke would return south to his former club Chelsea. After a stint in charge
of the youth teams at Stamford Bridge, Clarke was promoted to the position of assistant
manager to serve under Jos Mourinho. Steve was part of the coaching set up which helped
win two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups. He remained at the club
until 2008, before tending his resignation to join up with ex-teammate Gianfranco Zola as
part of the West Ham United backroom staff.
Clarke earned an extended contract at Upton Park when West Ham finished ninth in
the 2008-09 season, which saw him become the highest paid assistant manager in the Premier
League. In June 2010, not long after the dismissal of Zola as manager, Clarke left the
club by mutual consent.
Steve now begins his tenure as first-team coach under Kop favourite Dalglish.
