Arne Slot AGREES deal for KEY Liverpool signing
Liverpool are set to complete a deal for a key addition to Arne Slot’s backroom staff.
The Dutchman has brought in plenty of his former colleagues from his Feyenoord days, including his assistant Sipke Hulshoff and the Reds’ lead physical performance coach Ruben Peeters.
It’s clear that Slot wants personnel in charge who he can trust and already has a working relationship. This is not an unusual practise. Jurgen Klopp also brought in his own staff when he first took over at the club.
And now it seems as though Slot is on the brink of adding another key staff member from Feyenoord to the Anfield bootroom.

Liverpool set to appoint Roderick van der Ham
According to Dutch publication 1908.nl the latest appointment Slot is set to make at Liverpool is bringing in Feyenoord’s video analyst, Roderick van der Ham.
The Liverpool head coach has worked with Van der Ham since 2022 at Feyenoord until his departure to Anfield in the summer.
During their time together, Slot worked over 95 matches with the 33-year-old, who has had various roles in the game since he was 18 years old.
In the past, Van der Ham has worked as a video analyst for the Dutch U19 national team as well as RKC Waalwijk and Heracles in the Dutch first and second tier.
Before that, he even had a role as a fitness coach at NAC Breda.
It is not yet known which position Van der Ham will take up at Liverpool, although it’s safe to assume it will be the same role he had under Slot.
He also seems to have some experience with English football based on his Instagram, with Van der Ham previously sharing that he visited Manchester City’s campus back in 2018.

At 33 years old, he clearly has a lot of drive and ambition. That is exactly the kind of talent Liverpool need in the staff room and he could prove to be a brilliant new hire by Slot.
The fact that he knows Van der Ham well means Slot clearly rates him highly as well and good enough to be appointed by Liverpool.

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
