Sipke Hulshoff is on course to bolster Liverpool’s backroom staff numbers this summer.
The Netherlands and Feyenoord assistant (49) is understood to have quit his appointment with the Dutch national team ahead of linking up with Arne Slot at Anfield for 2024/25 and beyond.
This update comes courtesy of the ever-reliable Ben Jacobs on X (formerly Twitter). The Reds were hoping to avoid a conflict of commitments ahead of the European Championship.
Sipke Hulshoff has quit his role as assistant coach of the Netherlands allowing him to join Liverpool. He is replaced by Dwight Lodeweges.
Liverpool didn't want Hulshoff to go to the Euros and thus start later than Arne Slot.
