The summer overhaul at Liverpool shows no signs of slowing down, with two more coaching departures now anticipated following the recent managerial change.

Assistant coaches Sipke Hulshoff and Giovanni van Bronckhorst are both poised to follow their former manager through the Anfield exit door, according to emerging reports. Van Bronckhorst only arrived at the club in June 2025, whilst Hulshoff had been part of the coaching setup since the previous summer.

Their expected departures come hot on the heels of performance coach Ruben Peeters confirming his own exit from the club. Peeters, who had been based at Anfield since 2024, released a statement reflecting on his time at Liverpool.

"After two unforgettable seasons at Liverpool FC, it is time to say goodbye," Peeters wrote. "Winning the Premier League together will always be a special memory and the ultimate highlight of this incredible journey. But above all, I'm grateful for two years of going to work every day with such enthusiasm, surrounded by amazing colleagues and great people. Thank you to everyone at Liverpool FC for the trust, support and unforgettable moments."

Whilst the coaching exodus continues, attention has turned to who will fill the managerial void. Andoni Iraola appears to be the frontrunner for the role, with reports suggesting Liverpool have already struck an agreement that would hand the Basque coach a two-year contract.

Iraola is reportedly keen to bring his own team to Merseyside, including Bournemouth assistant Tommy Elphick, along with Pablo de la Torre, Shaun Cooper and Tom Webber. The speculation around Elphick's potential move gained weight when he rejected the opportunity to take charge at Bristol City last week.

However, the appointment process has not been without controversy. Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness claims there has been an internal dispute surrounding the decision to hire Iraola, suggesting tension between sporting director Richard Hughes and other figures at the top of the club.

"They decided late in the season on the Slot issue that they were going to have to make a move; they're now finding themselves picking Iraola because he's available," Wyness told Football Insider. "Is that really the right way to have gone and picked a manager?"

Wyness questioned whether the process had been rushed, adding: "It could have been a bit of undue haste that they may wish to repent on later on. I'm not entirely convinced that Iraola is the one that they've been hunting all season. I think that would have been much clearer, and it would have been labelled earlier."

The former executive went further, claiming: "There are some question marks, I think internally. I think there's been a little bit of disagreement between Richard Hughes and the others at the top of Liverpool and as to how they're going to approach it. Iraola is available, and it's been done quickly, but as I say that brings up a question mark in my mind as to whether he really was the one that they really wanted."

Despite these reported internal disagreements over the new appointment, the decision to part ways with the previous manager appeared to have unanimous support. The Athletic reported that "the decision was taken by Hughes and Edwards" with the understanding of the FSG board, which includes principal owner John W. Henry, chairman Tom Werner and FSG president Mike Gordon.

As Liverpool prepare for what promises to be a significant summer in the transfer market, the club may need even greater reinforcements than initially anticipated. Reports suggest Ibrahima Konate's potential switch to Real Madrid is gathering momentum, which would leave another hole to fill in an already busy window.

With coaching staff departing and internal disagreements emerging over key decisions, this summer of change at Anfield is shaping up to be more turbulent than many anticipated.
