The exit of highly-rated assistant coach Johnny Heitinga - an unsung hero of last season's Premier League title triumph - to Ajax was undoubtedly a blow.

But now Liverpool have swiftly recruited a vastly experienced, high-class replacement in van Bronckhorst, who has already won seven trophies during various managerial spells in Holland, Scotland and Turkey.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona defender - capped 105 times by the Netherlands - actually lifted more silverware (five trophies) than Slot at Feyenoord and also guided the Dutch giants to Eredivisie glory for the first time in 18 years.

It's no surprise to see him jump at the chance to work alongside his compatriot at Anfield, however, as the pair set their sights on another slice of history; an English-record 21st league crown.

Van Bronckhorst previously said of his new partner in crime: "Arne Slot is an exceptional coach in my eyes, he is showing great things with Liverpool and is doing that in the toughest league in the world.

"I have seen it as an Arsenal player: the Premier League is extremely tough.

He's also been sacked once in his career at AZ Alkmaar, a sacking hurts."

Van Bronckhorst, who guided Rangers to the Europa League final in 2022, has been out of work since November when he was dismissed by Besiktas.

He has worked under several top bosses including Arsene Wenger, Frank Rijkaard and Guus Hiddink but had become disillusioned by the lack of patience in the modern game.
