Liverpool Football Club have announced that Aaron Briggs, who joined in July 2024 as an individual development coach, will be leaving his role.
During his time at the club, Briggs was an integral part of Arne Slot’s backroom staff and contributed significantly to last season’s Premier League title success.
His work in player development and support behind the scenes was widely appreciated by both staff and players.
The club expressed its gratitude for Briggs’ contributions, wishing him every success in his future endeavors.
According to a post obtained from Liverpool’s website on Tuesday, the club posted, “Having joined the club in July 2024, initially in the role of individual development coach, Briggs contributed to our Premier League title success last season as a member of Arne Slot’s backroom staff.
He leaves with the appreciation and best wishes of everyone at the club.”

While Briggs’ exit is not viewed as the silver bullet to solve all of the Reds’ problems, the club have felt compelled to amid by their continued struggles both scoring and defending set pieces.
Briggs was appointed to the specialist role of set piece coach in September, having joined the club at the start of the 2024-25 season as a member of Slot’s backroom staff.
He remains highly regarded at Anfield for his contributions to Liverpool’s Premier League title win last season, but responsibility for set pieces will now fall to Slot and the rest of his coaching staff.
Liverpool’s precarious start to its title defense has seen six defeats and 26 goals conceded in 18 games – compared to just four league defeats all last season.
During Saturday’s nervy 2-1 home win against rock-bottom Wolverhampton, the visitors scored from a corner, and after the match, Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk highlighted Liverpool’s ongoing problems from set pieces.
