Liverpool have officially confirmed two new staff additions ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Arne Slot’s backroom staff thinned somewhat with John Heitinga joining Ajax as their head coach last month, while coach Diogo Pavia, who worked mainly with the academy, also announced he left the club.

As a result, the Reds have had to bring in some fresh faces, and they now have officially confirmed the appointment of Giovanni van Bronckhorst to replace Heitinga.

The former Netherlands captain brings a wealth of playing and managerial experience to Liverpool’s dugout.

Additionally, Xavi Valero rejoins Liverpool after seven seasons at West Ham United, where he oversaw the development of England internationals and emerging talents.

He first joined the Reds under Rafael Benítez in 2007.
