Former Arsenal and Barcelona legend joins Liverpool as Arne Slot's assistant manager in major coaching shake up ahead of the Premier League season

Former Arsenal star and Netherlands captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst has joined Liverpool as Arne Slot's assistant coach.

Despite romping to the Premier League title in April, Slot has overseen a major reshuffle behind the scenes at Anfield this summer as he looks to refresh his side ahead of next season.

As well as signing Bayer Leverkusen stars Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, Liverpool have now appointed Van Bronckhorst as Slot's deputy.

The 50-year-old, who has managed Rangers, Besiktas and Feyenoord, will join the Reds subject to receiving a visa and will replace John Heitinga, who took the head coach role at Ajax.
