Steven Gerrard is expected to appoint a Liverpool coach who has served the team for more than fifteen years.
Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool at the conclusion of the season is not the only thing. He is expected to take with him a large number of the club’s coaching staff. Those who have contributed significantly to the club’s success include Pep Lijnders, Vitor Matos, and Peter Krawietz. Most of them are individuals who were either brought along with Klopp or who were hired and elevated to the first team while Klopp was the club’s manager. That makes their exits less shocking than the most recent confirmed coach leaving Liverpool. John Achterberg’s most recent news
The news this week that John Achterberg, the goalkeeping coach for Liverpool, would be leaving the team after 15 years came as a bit of a shock. Achterberg has played a crucial role in Liverpool’s starting lineup. He’s done an incredible job developing players like Caoimhin. Additionally, he has now collaborated with multiple Liverpool managers,
making him one of the most reliable coaches at Liverpool. However, Achterberg is about to go from the team, and as per the Daily Mirror, he may soon be joining Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.
What is the situation with Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq? When Gerrard made the decision to go to Saudi Arabia and join Al-Ettifaq as manager last summer, it came as a surprise. Thus far in his managing career, things haven’t been easy for him. However, he has guided Al-Ettifaq to a well-deserved eighth place in the league. Given that Al-Ettifaq lacks the financial clout of other major teams in the league, this is a commendable accomplishment for the former Liverpool icon.
