Liverpool's set-piece coach, Aaron Briggs, has been fired due to the team's poor defensive record from dead-ball situations.
The Premier League champions have conceded 12 goals from set-pieces this season, the highest number in the division.
Conversely, Liverpool have only scored three goals from set-pieces, contributing to what head coach Arne Slot called a “negative set-piece balance”.
Slot has frequently voiced his frustration regarding the team's struggles with both defending and scoring from free kicks and corners.
Head coach Arne Slot and his assistants, Sipke Hulshoff and Giovanni van Bronckhorst, will now take over responsibility for set-piece management.
