Liverpool have lined up a replacement for John Heitinga, who joined Ajax as their manager last week.

Paul Joyce of the Times has revealed that the club is closing in on a deal for Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

The respected journalist reports:

“Liverpool are close to appointing the former Netherlands international Giovanni van Bronckhorst to their backroom staff.”

“Van Bronckhorst will replace John Heitinga, who left the Premier League champions to become head coach at Ajax, and take his place in Arne Slot’s new-look think tank.”

“The 50-year-old has had recent spells as a manager at Rangers, guiding them to the Europa League final in 2022 where they lost to Eintracht Frankfurt, and then Besiktas before his dismissal in November.”
