In July 2009, Liverpool agreed a deal to bring in Barcelona youth coaches Rodolfo Borrell and Pep Segura to the club. In the mid-late 2000s, first team coach Rafael Benitez made it a priority of his to improve the club's Academy, hence why Rodolfo was brought in.^{[citation needed]} After two successful seasons as head coach of the U18s, Rodolfo became Liverpool's Reserve Team Head Coach in May 2011."It's a great honour for me. The club have shown they have great confidence in my ability and I am happy. It is a job that means my name will sit forever alongside the likes of Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Roy Evans, Phil Thompson and Sammy Lee. They are big names in Liverpool's history and it is also an important role because it is the final step in the Academy. The players need to be ready if they are to make the move into the first-team set-up and I am going to fight for that." After a two-year spell as head coach of Liverpool U18s and an eighteen-month stint in charge of the Reserve side, he then became head of academy coaching at Liverpool. Recruited in the summer of 2009 by Rafael Benitez, he and compatriot Jose Segura helped revolutionise Liverpool's ailing Academy.^{[citation needed]} Having failed to provide the first team with a key player since Steven Gerrard who made his debut in 1998,^{[citation needed]} the academy produced numerous talents since Borrell's appointment.^{[citation needed]}
