Giovanni van Bronckhorst set to join Liverpool

According to The Times, Giovanni van Bronckhorst is set to join Liverpool as assistant coach — replacing John Heitinga who has been appointed as Ajax Amsterdam’s head coach.

Van Bronckhorst will work under Arne Slot at the current Premier League champions — continuing the Dutch coaching tradition at Liverpool.

“Giovanni van Bronckhorst is close to joining Liverpool’s coaching setup,” writes Paul Joyce from The Times.

Interestingly, both Van Bronckhorst and Heitinga — share Indonesian Maluku heritage, thus maintaining Indonesian roots in Liverpool’s squad for the upcoming season.
