👔 Gio van Bronckhorst joins Arne Slot’s staff at Liverpool as assistant | OneFootball

Liverpool FC has officially announced the addition of Giovanni van Bronckhorst to the first team coaching staff.

The former Dutch footballer and coach, who has previously managed Feyenoord, Rangers, and Besiktas, joins Arne Slot’s team following the departure of John Heitinga, who has taken on the role of head coach at Ajax.

Van Bronckhorst, captain of the Netherlands national team in the 2010 World Cup final, will bring his vast experience and footballing philosophy to the Reds’ coaching staff.

Meanwhile, Liverpool also welcomes back Xavi Valero as the new first team goalkeeping coach, returning to Merseyside after spending the last seven years at West Ham United.

The Spaniard first joined Liverpool in 2007 under Rafael Benítez and stayed with his compatriot when he took charge of Inter Milan, Chelsea, Napoli, and Real Madrid. After a stint at Hebei China Fortune, Valero signed for West Ham in the summer of 2018.

Likewise, the club has announced that Fabian Otte and Claudio Taffarel are leaving Liverpool’s goalkeeping department.
