Liverpool anticipates further changes in Arne Slot’s coaching setup as Feyenoord pursues assistant coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst for a technical director position.
Feyenoord’s Push for Van Bronckhorst
The Rotterdam club eyes van Bronckhorst, who ranks third behind Slot and Sipke Hulshoff in Liverpool’s staff hierarchy. A Rotterdam native, he previously played and managed at Feyenoord. The Dutch side faces its own restructuring, with CEO Dennis te Kloese departing and advisor Dick Advocaat’s role uncertain.
Van Bronckhorst’s Extensive Career
The former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Rangers midfielder earned 106 caps for the Netherlands. He joined Liverpool last summer, replacing John Heitinga. His managerial record includes successful terms at Feyenoord, Guangzhou R&F (now City), Rangers, and Besiktas.
Liverpool’s Contract and Summer Outlook
No formal approach has reached Liverpool, where van Bronckhorst holds one year remaining on his contract, matching Slot’s tenure. Despite a demanding season, the club backs Slot while preparing for transitions. Key players Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson face uncertain futures.
Salah sustained a hamstring injury during the victory against Crystal Palace, raising questions about his remaining games for the Reds. The forward also prepares for what may be his last World Cup with Egypt, set to begin shortly after the season concludes.
