Pepijn Lijnders is to become head coach at Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg following his departure from Liverpool.
Lijnders, who had initially worked under Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool, will leave Anfield along with Jürgen Klopp at the end of the season.
“I am very proud to become the new head coach of FC Red Bull Salzburg,” said Lijnders said on Liverpool’s club website. “This is a real privilege for me. After PSV Eindhoven, Porto and Liverpool, I am now moving to another exceptional club with a really good structure and a particular focus on youth development.
“I want to develop a mentality with the team that places a lot of emphasis on attacking style of play and where passion and hunger for success are the basis of everything.”
