Liverpool have confirmed that set-piece coach Aaron Briggs has left the club with immediate effect, marking another change within the Reds’ backroom staff ahead of a crucial phase of the season. The development was reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, with the club opting not to appoint a direct replacement at this stage.
Briggs, who had been responsible for Liverpool’s attacking and defensive set-piece routines, departs after a relatively short spell at Anfield. His exit comes at a time when marginal gains from dead-ball situations are increasingly vital in elite football, particularly in tightly contested Premier League and European matches.
According to the update, responsibility for set pieces will now be shared among the remaining members of Liverpool’s coaching staff. This suggests a more collective approach under the current management structure, with assistant coaches and analysts expected to absorb Briggs’ duties rather than the club moving swiftly for a specialist replacement.
Liverpool have often been praised for their structured approach to coaching and preparation, with set pieces playing an important role during their most successful recent campaigns. Any change in this area will naturally be monitored closely by supporters, especially given how decisive dead-ball situations can be over the course of a season.
