According to the Daily Mail, the 34-year-old footballer will work alongside Andrew Crofts, who previously managed the Seagulls' youth team. Lallana is currently sidelined with an injury and will not be able to take the field until October 1.

Lallana could have made his debut as Brighton coach this week against Bournemouth, but the next Premier League match was postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
