One of the two goalkeeper coaches who recently left Liverpool has joined one of their Premier League rivals.

It was announced earlier this month that Fabian Otte and Claudio Taffarel had departed the champions.

Otte spent just one season on Merseyside after taking over as head of first team goalkeeper coaching last summer following the departures of John Achterberg and Jack Robinson.

World Cup winner Taffarel, meanwhile, called time on his three-and-a-half-year stay at Liverpool after joining then manager Jurgen Klopp’s backroom team in November 2021 to work alongside the club's shot-stoppers, including first-choice Alisson Becker, who he had worked with for the Brazilian national team.

Taffarel's next step is unclear but it has now been announced that Otte has become Tottenham Hotspur's new first team goalkeeper coach.

Otte is one of a number of appointments at Spurs after Thomas Frank was named as their new head coach.

Further to the previously-announced arrivals of Justin Cochrane (first team assistant coach), Chris Haslam (head of performance & first team assistant coach), Andreas Georgson (first team assistant coach) and Joe Newton (first team coach analyst), Tottenham have confirmed that Matt Wells will remain on their coaching staff as first team assistant coach as well as welcoming Otte and Cameron Campbell as first team development coach.

Liverpool, who returned to pre-season today (July 8) following the tragic passing of Diogo Jota, have replaced Otte and Taffarel with the return of Xavi Valero.

The 52-year-old is back at Anfield after previously serving under Rafa Benitez, who he then followed to Inter Milan, Chelsea, Napoli and Real Madrid before spending the past seven years at West Ham United, where he won the Europa Conference League under now Everton boss David Moyes.

Liverpool also have a new assistant coach.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been appointed to the role following the departure of John Heitinga to take over as Ajax head coach.
