Arne Slot has already been officially announced as the new Liverpool manager after Jurgen Klopp bid farewell to Anfield on the final day of the Premier League season.

Slot, who will become the first Dutch manager in Liverpool’s history, is poised to lead a team brimming with potential for immediate success.

He will officially commence his duties on June 1, with pre-season training scheduled to begin in July.

Reports suggest that Liverpool will pay a minimum of £7.7 million for Slot, with performance-related bonuses potentially increasing the total to £9.4 million.

Plenty of Jurgen Klopp’s backroom staff have already been announced as having departed the club, with a few more to be announced in the coming weeks no doubt.

All of the listed staff members are confirmed as having left the club:

John Achterberg — Goalkeeping Coach
Jack Robinson — Assistant Goalkeeping Coach
Andreas Kornmayer — Head of Fitness and Conditioning
Andreas Schlumberger — Head of Recovery and Performance
Ray Haughan — General Manager of First-Team Operations

But it now seems that Arne Slot and Liverpool have made the first steps in constructing the backroom for the 2024/25 season.

Liverpool hire Ruben Peeters as Lead Physical Performance coach

Ruben Peeters’ agency, Claes, have announced that Peeters will be “First Team Lead Physical Performance coach, accompanying Arne Slot and Sipke Hulshoff at Anfield for next season.

Peeters made significant strides as the head of performance at Feyenoord since joining the club in 2021.

With a background that includes a role as a fitness coach at KRC Genk in Belgium, Peeters brings a wealth of experience and expertise in player conditioning and injury prevention.

His primary focus at Feyenoord has been to minimize the risk of injuries and enhance player fitness to the highest levels.

Peeters has played a crucial role in Feyenoord’s recent successes, including their Eredivisie championship win and their strong performances in European competitions.

Peeters is highly regarded in his field, known for his ability to tailor training programs to meet the specific needs of each player.

This has contributed significantly to Feyenoord’s ability to compete at the highest levels and maintain player availability during big games in the Eredivisie and across Europe.

With his move to Liverpool alongside manager Arne Slot, Peeters is expected to bring the same level of expertise and innovation to Anfield, strengthening Liverpool’s performance and conditioning team.
