Liverpool have made Claudio Taffarel their latest edition to the coaching staff after the Brazil World Cup-winning goalkeeper was added to the shot-stopping team at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby.
Alisson Becker has previously highlighted his admiration for Taffarel and, after working together with the Brazilian national side, the Reds number one has recommended his idol to Liverpool.
And the 55-year-old has been spotted at the club's training base in Kirby with the club's incoming sporting director Julian Ward, who is set to replace Michael Edwards.
This video below is perhaps the biggest indication that Ward, who is fluent in Portuguese, has stepped up his duties already as he prepares to take the reins from Edwards in the summer.
Taffarel, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 1994, has worked closely with Alisson and with Manchester City No. 1 Ederson in recent years - whom Klopp thinks are the best two keepers in the world.
The Reds boss said: “We spoke to Ali because two of the best goalies in the world are Brazilians and so we found a solution with bringing in Taffarel as a really nice addition to our whole coaching staff.
“We really think it can give us just a different view again, to look at different things.
“We really want to really be a proper goalkeeping school in world football and so that’s why we’re bringing in a third very, very experienced goalkeeper coach.”
Taffarel will work closely with John Achterberg and Jack Robinson in helping the Reds' keepers be on top of their game.
