Arne Slot Says Liverpool Reviewing Set-Piece Coach Options After Briggs Exit

The manager cited a league-high 12 set-piece goals conceded and estimated the weakness has cost roughly five to seven points.

Overview

  • Set-piece responsibilities have shifted to Slot and his assistants, with Sipke Hulshoff directing instructions on the touchline.
  • Slot declined to discuss potential candidates and said the club is looking at what is best but has no announcement to make.
  • Liverpool had conceded 12 goals from set plays at the time of Aaron Briggs’ departure, including seven from corners.
  • A 2024 move for Feyenoord coach Etienne Reijnen fell through because of work-permit issues, complicating external recruitment.
  • Slot thanked Briggs for his contributions, calling him a promising young coach who played a part in last season’s title win.
