Coach applies for position with Arne Slot, as Liverpool and Arsenal are vying for a $27 million deal

Current Liverpool transfer news as the Reds may challenge Arsenal for a player. Arne Slot is in search of a backroom staff, and a coach from Portuguese has sought for a position.

Officially, Liverpool is in the interim between Jürgen Klopp’s departure and Arne Slot’s arrival at Anfield, but Klopp has already left and Slot will be organising. The new Dutchman hopes to get started quickly this summer.

Slot has a lot of tasks to complete, including contracts, transfers, and backroom appointments. Even though June 1st is his official start date, it’s likely that he has already held numerous meetings to discuss what comes next.

Transfer planning will undoubtedly have come up during those talks, even though sporting director Richard Hughes will be in charge of it. This is your summary of the most recent Liverpool news.

Arsenal and Liverpool compete to sign Justin Bijlow.

Justin Bijlow, the custodian for Feyenoord, is the target of Liverpool and Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window’s opening. The Gunners are believed to need to recruit a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, but the Reds would only need to sign if Caoimhín Kelleher pushes for an exit.

The 26-year-old is reportedly being watched by Arsenal in England, according to The Telegraph, while De Telegraaf in the Netherlands claims he might follow Arse Slot to Anfield. Last summer, Manchester United took a peek at Bijlow and ultimately acquired André Onana. For his services, Old Trafford was billed $27 million (£21 million/€25 million).

Portuguese coach seeks position with Arne Slot

Portuguese coach Rúben Pinheiro has announced that he has entered the race for the position of set-piece coach following Liverpool’s LinkedIn job posting. In addition to losing Pep Lijnders, Peter Krawietz, Vitor Matos, John Achterberg, Jack Robinson, Andreas Schlumberger, and Andreas Kornmayer, Liverpool has Arne Slot in place of Jurgen Klopp.

“Set pieces have always had an impact, in my opinion,” Pinheiro told Record. “But with the game’s evolution and the fact that more teams are being worked on in-depth, I think it’s becoming even more relevant now.”

“After all these years, there seems to be a clear difference in the way the moment is addressed, the attention that is paid to the moment throughout training, and the growing innovation that exists. There are four stages to the process of making set pieces. The initial step is the analysis of the information we will uncover. Consequently, a thorough examination of the other team’s tactics, such as how they protect the zone, is necessary.

“And offensively, the same thing. The English refer to it as design. To make it clear to all players which dead ball will be decided by the kicker, I have included a signal designation in this design. Consequently, the hitter needs to be a skilled interpreter and watcher in addition to being a strong performance.”
