Liverpool appoint Heitinga as assistant coach

John Heitinga has been appointed to Liverpool’s backroom staff in the position of assistant coach.

The 40-year-old becomes the latest addition to Arne Slot’s staff ahead of the start of 2024-25.

Heitinga made his name as a centre-back during his playing days, winning 87 caps for the Netherlands and representing Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Everton, Fulham and Hertha BSC before hanging up his boots in 2016.

He then moved into coaching, working with various youth teams within the Ajax set-up, before taking charge of the Amsterdam club’s senior side between January and June 2023.

Most recently, Heitinga worked as first-team assistant coach at West Ham United last season.

He now joins Slot’s team in assisting Liverpool’s preparations for the forthcoming campaign.
