Liverpool assistant Sean O'Driscoll has left the club while Gary McAllister has been removed as first-team coach ahead of Jurgen Klopp's arrival at Anfield.
The German is set to replace Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked on Sunday, and sign a three-year contract on Thursday.
Ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Klopp, 48, plans to bring in former assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz as part of his Liverpool backroom staff.
McAllister is currently considering the offer of another role with the club.
The 50-year-old Scot and former England Under-19s coach O'Driscoll, 58, replaced Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh, who were both sacked after a summer review of Liverpool's management team.
Liverpool's head of opposition analysis Chris Davies - who joined the club with Rodgers in 2012 - has lost his job along with head of performance Glen Driscoll.
Bosnian Buvac, 54, and German Krawietz, 43, were key members of Klopp's backroom team during his time at Dortmund.
Liverpool had also been considering former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is out of work.
But the 56-year-old Italian has suggested he may only return to management next season.
He said: "I enjoy my time now but, of course, I want to come back to manage - to work - because it is my passion.
"I want to take my time to rest, but next season I am ready."
Klopp guided Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles before he departed this summer after a difficult domestic campaign in which they lost the German Cup final to Wolfsburg and finished seventh in the league.
