Overview
- Liverpool confirmed on December 30 that Aaron Briggs has left his role, ending a tenure that began with his arrival in 2024.
- Set-piece responsibilities are being handled on an interim basis by Sipke Hulshoff, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and head coach Arne Slot.
- Liverpool’s Premier League set-piece record stands at a reported minus-9 this season, with 12 conceded and only three scored, described as the worst in Europe’s top five leagues.
- The club’s Champions League return from dead balls contrasts sharply, with five goals scored and none conceded in six matches.
- Reporting indicates Liverpool has begun recruiting a dedicated, experienced set-piece coach, and the Liverpool Echo says Slot previously sought Feyenoord’s Etienne Reijnen but was blocked by work permit issues.
