Klopp explains Taffarel arrival and reveals Achterberg contract extension
Jürgen Klopp has explained how Claudio Taffarel’s appointment will benefit Liverpool’s goalkeeping department while revealing that John Achterberg has renewed his contract with the club.
It was announced on Tuesday that Taffarel, a World Cup winner with Brazil in 1994, has joined the Reds’ first-team coaching set-up, where he will work alongside Achterberg and Jack Robinson.
Klopp detailed the reasons for Taffarel’s arrival during his press conference on Friday and also announced that Achterberg has signed a new deal until 2024.
“Taffa! Really good guy. I had for a while already the idea when I saw all our extremely talented goalkeepers,” the boss said.
