Frederico Paciencia joined the club in 2016 and his main role at Liverpool FC's Academy is to organise and manage the international trialist process, liaising with all the different departments within the club, as well as trialists' families and clubs.

Fred is able to speak five languages, which ensures that all our guests understand how we create and maintain a positive environment for players to fully reach their potential.

He is a former teacher (physical education and professional tourism qualifications) and globetrotter, having lived in seven different countries, resulting in having a vast intercultural experience and respect for diversity.
