Liverpool FC are strengthened with Brazilian goalkeeper legend Claudio Taffarel

Liverpool FC have strengthened their coaching team with former Brazilian goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel. The 55-year-old will join the PL club as the third goalkeeping coach alongside John Achterberg and Jack Robinson.

At the same time, however, Taffarel will continue to exercise his position with the Brazilian national team. There he is also employed as a goalkeeping coach.

“We want to develop our own philosophy for the goalkeeping game, because we all agree that it is a very special topic, and that is why we wanted to develop a different perspective,” said LFC coach Jürgen Klopp at a press conference when asked about the commitment .

The main goal of the Reds is to become “one of the best goalkeeping schools in world football”. Taffarel is “a really good addition to our entire coaching staff. We really believe that he can offer us a different perspective.”

Big supporter of the transfer is said to have been Liverpool number one Alisson Becker, who already works with Taffarel on the national team.

As the best keeper, Taffarel won the World Cup with his home country in 1994. In Europe, the goalkeeper is best known for his stints at AC Parma and Galatasaray Istanbul.
