Liverpool's backroom staff could be in for more changes, according to head coach Arne Slot, who has hinted that the club is actively looking to fill the void left by a mid-season departure.
The timing is notable, with tensions already simmering around Anfield. Recent ticket price protests have exposed a growing rift between supporters and the club's hierarchy, and now Slot's latest comments suggest that the reshuffling isn't confined to the pitch.
Speaking via Liverpool's official YouTube channel, Slot addressed the departure of set-piece coach Aaron Briggs earlier this season. "We all know we lost a member of staff during the season, we parted ways," he explained. "So it makes complete sense for this club if someone is leaving that you look at replacing."
While the role has been handled internally since Briggs' exit, Slot's remarks indicate that this arrangement may only be temporary. "In general you are looking to improve player wise and staff wise. Always keeping eyes open," he added, revealing a broader philosophy of constant evaluation.
This isn't an isolated shake-up. The coaching setup has already seen significant turnover over the past year, with John Heitinga departing and Giovanni van Bronckhorst coming in. But uncertainty lingers, as van Bronckhorst has been linked with opportunities elsewhere, potentially creating another gap that needs filling.
Slot was careful to acknowledge the value of what was lost, noting that Briggs "was a part – and a big part – of us winning the league last season… he has been a big help to me." That context matters, because while changes are often framed as improvements, they also mean losing continuity—something that can have a real impact over time.
At a moment when fans are already questioning the club's direction, hearing that both the playing squad and the coaching staff are under ongoing review adds another layer of intrigue to what's shaping up to be a pivotal period at Anfield.
