Liverpool set-piece coach Briggs leaves club

Liverpool set-piece coach Aaron Briggs has left the club amid continued problems in dead-ball situations this season.

The decision comes after Arne Slot's team conceded their 12th goal from a set-piece this campaign in Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolves.

Briggs arrived in September after originally being appointed to Slot's staff at the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Responsibility for preparing the team for set-pieces will be taken on by the rest of Liverpool's coaching staff.

Set-piece output has become a key aspect of teams across the Premier League this season and with that in mind the mutual decision for Briggs to depart, given Liverpool's struggles in the area, becomes a significant move.
