It’s now clear that he’ll need a new head of goalkeeping, too.

Luckily, Liverpool do have some options in that respect already at the club.

It isn’t only Achterberg who preps the likes of Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher, the Dutchman counts Jack Robinson and Claudio Taffarel amongst his team.



For the time being it reportedly remains ‘unclear’ exactly what will become of both Robinson and Taffarel.

Robinson is the man named as Achterberg’s ‘understudy’ while Brazilian World Cup winner Taffarel is clearly a huge help for Alisson.

It remains to be seen whether either are at the club under Slot.

As Liverpool’s ‘assistant goalkeeping coach’ Robinson would appear the most likely to take over from Achterberg.

Having joined the club in 2018, he is already completely familiar with the way things work at the AXA Training Centre.

Robinson also clearly has the trust of Alisson and Kelleher.

After spells with the England underage teams, Man City, Crystal Palace and Leeds, the coach is also experienced and looks primed to step up.

Taffarel meanwhile appears to have been initially brought in to work more closely with Alisson especially.

Joining in in 2021 to combine his duties with the Brazil national team, the 1994 World Cup winner has since moved to work exclusively with Liverpool.

As Robinson was more Achterberg’s man, maybe Taffarel is actually a better bet to stay on.
