Liverpool have added further to their backroom staff with another set-piece specialist, following the change of roles for Aaron Briggs to set-piece coach.<\/p>\n

Briggs has officially switched job title and will be Liverpool\u2019s first-team set-piece coach \u2013 having effectively filled the role throughout last season already.<\/p>\n

His shift in responsibility comes with Brazilian coach Luiz Fernando Iubel beginning work as new individual development lead coach on Monday, following a move from Atletico Mineiro.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have also appointed Lewis Mahoney as their new first-team set-piece analyst, with the 36-year-old joining from Southampton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mahoney held the same role for almost two years at Southampton<\/a> having previously served as a performance analyst for both Swansea and Bristol Rovers.<\/p>\n

His duties will be in supporting Briggs as they implement new approaches to both defending and attacking set-pieces.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot<\/a>\u2018s side were particularly proficient in both areas during their 1-0 win over Arsenal<\/a> on Sunday, which was decided by Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a>\u2018s spectacular free-kick.<\/p>\n

While there will have been less input from Briggs when it came to Szoboszlai\u2019s stunning goal from over 30 yards, the Reds were able to nullify Arsenal<\/a>\u2018s biggest threat from corners.<\/p>\n

The appointment of Iubel and Mahoney comes following another major reshuffle in the backroom staff at Liverpool over the summer.<\/p>\n

Assistant coach John Heitinga left to take over as head coach at Ajax and was replaced by countryman Giovanni van Bronckhorst<\/a>.<\/p>\n
