Liverpool have appointed Alejandro Rosalen as their new first-team goalkeeping coach.<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old Spaniard joins Andoni Iraola\u2019s backroom staff as a replacement for Xavi Valero, who stepped down<\/a> at the end of last season after only 12 months.<\/p>\n

Rosalen boasts a wealth of coaching experience having worked for Serie A outfit Napoli for the past five years. Prior to that, he spent eight years at Fiorentina and also had a spell in Hungary with Videoton. His coaching career started in his homeland at Valencia.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, young Liverpool goalkeeper Armin Pecsi won\u2019t be part of the club\u2019s pre-season tour of the U.S. as he\u2019s on the brink of joining Austrian Bundesliga outfit TSV Hartberg on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are keen for the 21-year-old to gain regular senior experience with Hartberg beating off competition from a number of clubs in Switzerland and France.<\/p>\n

Pecsi, who was an unused substitute at first-team level on five occasions in 2025-26, has impressed since joining Liverpool from Puskas Akademia last summer. A regular for the club at under-21s level, he made his senior international debut for Hungary against Kazakhstan last month.<\/p>\n
