Liverpool are working to appoint Etienne Reijnen to Arne Slot’s coaching staff, reinforcing the club’s backing for Slot. Slot’s role remains under scrutiny because Liverpool have not yet secured Champions League qualification. The club is supporting Slot’s request to strengthen his backroom team and is progressing a deal for Feyenoord assistant manager Reijnen. Reijnen previously played with Slot at PEC Zwolle and became Slot’s assistant at Feyenoord in 2023. Slot had wanted to bring Reijnen to Anfield earlier, but work permit issues prevented the move. Slot has praised Reijnen and declined to confirm the appointment until it is completed. Liverpool also face uncertainty around Mohamed Salah’s involvement in the final home match against Brentford.
"Feyenoord's technical director, Dennis te Kloese, seemingly confirmed Reijnen's exit this week when saying: Reijnen is simply a very talented young coach. He doesn't just go abroad to work for no reason. The Liverpool head coach would also not be drawn on Salah's latest attempt to undermine him or whether the Egypt international will be involved in Sunday's finale against Brentford, when both the forward and Andy Robertson will say farewell to Anfield."
