Liverpool Dismisses Set-Piece Coach Aaron Briggs

The club cites persistent frailties at dead-ball situations this season.

Overview

  • Liverpool confirmed on Tuesday that Aaron Briggs has left his role overseeing set pieces, sending him off with thanks and best wishes.
  • The team has conceded 12 goals from set pieces in 18 Premier League matches, a total that is joint-high with Bournemouth.
  • Liverpool have scored only three goals from offensive set pieces this season.
  • Briggs joined in July 2024, initially worked on individual development, and was part of the staff credited with last season’s title win.
  • The club has not announced a replacement, and media reports suggest Arne Slot and his assistants could handle set-piece work in the near term.
