Liverpool are currently recruiting for a physical performance analyst and a first-team physical performance coach as Arne Slot continues to restructure his backroom staff, reports the ECHO.



This was followed by Aaron Briggs formally taking over set-piece duties, having balanced these responsibilities alongside his other commitments during his inaugural season at the club.

Briggs has now officially taken on the role of set-piece coach at the AXA Training Centre, following the appointment of former Barcelona and Arsenal star Giovanni van Bronckhorst as Heitinga's replacement over the summer.

Luiz Fernando Iubel was also recently announced as the new individual lead coach, a role designed to bridge the gap between the Academy and the first-team ranks.

The club officially confirmed the Brazilian's appointment last week.

Liverpool's coaching staff is set for further changes, with the club seeking to hire both a physical performance analyst and a first-team physical performance coach.

Physical reviews for each player in the group will also be communicated monthly, while an analysis of pre-season and in-season 'testing' will also be required.

Elsewhere, Curtis Jones was one of the few who reported for duty at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday as the non-international contingent begin to focus on the return of the Premier League this weekend.

The latest addition to the Premier League, Alexander Isak, who was signed for a record-breaking £125m, had previously spent part of 2019 on loan from Borussia Dortmund.
