Episode #169 of The Coaches Network Podcast.
The guest for this episode is Alex Inglethorpe.
Alex is the Academy manager at Liverpool, charged with developing an environment in which players and staff can thrive and overseeing a style of play that mirrors JĂĽrgen Klopp's senior team.
He was originally appointed U21 coach in November 2012 and joined the Reds from Tottenham after six years worth of service at White Hart Lane.
As a player, Inglethorpe's career began at Watford, where he played in the attacking midfield role, sometimes pushing further on to play as a striker.
Following a loan spell at Barnet in 1995, Inglethorpe signed for Leyton Orient before making the switch to Exeter City in 2000, where, but for a brief loan at Canvey Island, he played-out the final days of his on-pitch career.
Inglethorpe's first role in the dug-out came at Surrey-based side Leatherhead, from where he moved on to Leyton Orient as U19 coach in January 2004.
Some nine months later, he took up the reins as manager of his former club Exeter and during his tenure there, the non-league outfit recorded a memorable 0-0 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the FA Cup third round.
Inglethorpe also served as assistant manager of the England National Game XI - a team that represents the Three Lions at non-league level - but he left the post in October 2005.
In June 2006, he joined Tottenham and after Martin Jol's sacking, served as assistant to caretaker manager Clive Allen until the appointment of Juande Ramos.
In November 2012 he arrived at Liverpool's Academy to replace Rodolfo Borrell as U21 manager after the Spaniard moved on to the role of head of academy coaching before later being promoted into the role of Academy Manager.
Alex joins Coach Yas to share some insights gained in his journey to date as well some fundamentals to take into consideration in forging a career in the game. Enjoy!

🎙️ The Coaches Network Podcast — conversations that inform, challenge and inspire coaches.
Hosted by Coach Yas (Yasar Latif) — UEFA A Licence coach, coach…
Since launching in 2020, the podcast has produced more than 380 episodes, creating a space for honest, thought-provoking conversations with coaches, athletes, leaders, educators and practitioners from across sport and beyond.
Guests have included Shaquille O’Neal, Jack Wilshere, Sol Campbell, Tony Carr, Chris Ramsey, Mark Warburton and many others — but the podcast has never simply been about names or achievements.
We go deeper.
What shaped the person behind the practitioner?
Which experiences changed the way they think?
What have they changed their mind about?
Where did their biggest learning come from?
And what can the rest of us take from their journey?
From coaching and player development to leadership, learning, expertise, culture and professional development, each conversation looks beyond the surface to explore the thinking, experiences and pivotal moments behind practice.
Alongside his work developing and mentoring coaches, Yas is completing a Professional Doctorate in Sport, with his research focused on coach development and professional learning within academy football. That same curiosity increasingly shapes the podcast — asking better questions, challenging assumptions and creating conversations that connect research, experience and practice.
Whether you’re a coach, coach developer, leader, educator or simply curious about how people get better at what they do, consider yourself a fly on the wall.
Listen in. Reflect. Challenge your thinking. And hopefully take away a few ideas for your own journey.
🎓 Want to go further with your own development?
The Coaches Network also provides one-to-one mentoring and coach development support for coaches looking to better understand their practice, develop their identity and philosophy, navigate career progression, or simply have someone challenge and support their thinking.
