There is set to be plenty of change at Liverpool ahead of next season as the Reds get to work in the transfer market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After staying quiet in 2024, things have been the polar opposite this year, with three new players already in the bag.<\/p>\n

Having had a year to assess the Liverpool squad<\/a>, head coach Arne Slot<\/a> has decided upon what he needs to ensure the Reds go for the Premier League title once again.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Slot, though, he has also had to contend with some key personnel leaving. The Dutchman was powerless to prevent Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s move to Real Madrid, while he also lost an important member of the Liverpool coaching staff<\/a> as John Heitinga joined Ajax.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> have replaced Alexander-Arnold with Jeremie Frimpong, however, while Heitinga\u2019s replacement will reportedly be former Feyenoord, Rangers and Besiktas manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.<\/p>\n

Things have gone a little quiet on Van Bronckhorst after initial reports about his imminent arrival two weeks ago. Thankfully, journalist David Lynch says everything is still on track.<\/p>\n

On the face of it, Van Bronckhorst looks like a really good appointment for Liverpool. Experienced at the top of the game as a player, the Dutchman is also a title-winning manager. He ticks all the boxes.<\/p>\n

And speaking to Anfield Index, Lynch praised Liverpool\u2019s hiring of Van Bronckhorst, while also confirming that the 50-year-old is expected to start work on the first day of pre-season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s much more to run on this story other than he\u2019s just going to turn up for the first day of pre-season really,\u201d said the reporter. \u201cReading between the lines, I think that one\u2019s pretty much done. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s going to be an announcement, they\u2019re not going to be flying him in to do an interview and he certainly doesn\u2019t need a medical!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be part of the coaching staff, or at least that\u2019s my expectation, on the first day of pre-season,\u201d Lynch adds. \u201cYou have to say on this one, a bit of a surprise to be honest. I thought there were a couple of other names who might be in the frame who were more kind of assistant coaches.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they\u2019ve managed to get someone who\u2019s been a manager very recently and done a good job in that. Someone who\u2019s stepping down to come into this role in terms of his responsibilities. So, it feels like a big coup to be honest and not a name who was on my radar to think might be a possibility for this role. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems like a really good appointment and a strong response to losing Johnny Heitinga who was a highly rated member of that coaching staff. But I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll be seeing much from him until pre-season starts.\u201d<\/p>\n

When does Liverpool\u2019s pre-season start?<\/p>\n

If Van Bronckhorst is due to start on the first day of pre-season, then it may beg the question for some supporters of when the first day of training of will actually arrive.<\/p>\n

We will begin our 2025-26 pre-season schedule against Preston North End at Deepdale on Sunday July 13 \ud83d\udd34<\/p>\n

As things stand, Liverpool players and coaches are due to return to base on Tuesday July 8th, before taking part in their first pre-season friendly on Sunday July 13th.<\/p>\n

The Reds will then fly out to Hong Kong for a match against AC Milan on July 26th, and then to Japan to face Yokohama F. Marinos on July 30th.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s pre-season calendar then concludes with back-to-back matches against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield<\/a> on August 4th.<\/p>\n

There will be more exciting additions than Van Bronckhorst, but his arrival should not be overlooked nonetheless.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
