Liverpool assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders has been appointed as Red Bull Salzburg’s new head coach.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 41-year-old, who joined Liverpool in 2014, will go to the Austrian club this summer on a three-year deal. <\/p>\n
Lijnders, who is in his second stint at Anfield, had been set to leave the club following Jurgen Klopp’s decision to step down.<\/p>\n
The Dutchman said he wants to create an attacking style of play at his new club “where passion and hunger for success are the basis of everything”. <\/p>\n
Having initially worked under Brendan Rodgers, Lijnders remained a key part of Liverpool’s backroom staff after Klopp’s appointment in October 2015.<\/p>\n
He left the Reds for a brief stint as manager of Dutch club NEC Nijmegen but returned to Anfield seven months later to fill his previous role. <\/p>\n
Liverpool’s development coach Vitor Matos will join Lijnders in the Austrian top-flight team as his assistant manager. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
