Liverpool are using LinkedIn to help fill out new manager Arne Slot's backroom team.
Slot will start as manager of Liverpool from June 1. He brings Sipke Hulshoff (assistant coach) and Ruben Peeters (Head of Performance) from Feyenoord with him, but that will not complete his technical staff. Liverpool has posted a vacancy on LinkedIn for a set-piece specialist.
The Reds state in the description of the vacancy that it is looking for a 'tactical specialist responsible for maximizing the team's performance at all set pieces'.
Duties include thorough analysis, meticulous planning and the ability to expertly coach both offensive and defensive set-piece tactics.
The specialist is expected to scrutinise the opponent's tactics at set pieces on a weekly basis and identify strengths and weaknesses.
The specialist will also be given the task of working individually with players to improve specific skills such as heading or shooting on goal.
What exactly must the specialist they are looking for meet? The person must be in possession of a UEFA A license (or an equivalent license) and have a proven track record in shaping set pieces within top football with a first team.
