NewsColin Stewart joins Liverpool in new goalkeeper coaching role
Colin Stewart has joined Liverpool’s coaching staff as the new goalkeeper development and pathway lead.
The Scot links up with Arne Slot’s backroom team after nine years with Glasgow Rangers.
His first two years with Rangers were spent at the helm of the club’s academy goalkeeping programme, before being promoted to the role of first-team goalkeeper coach, in which he served for the past seven years.
Stewart, a former professional goalkeeper himself, also worked with the Scottish FA for more than a decade as a goalkeeping coach educator, delivering relevant courses across the country.
Now, he will support Xavi Valero – back at Liverpool as head of first-team goalkeeper coaching – on a daily basis in working with the Reds’ senior stoppers on and off the pitch.
Additionally, Stewart will oversee the loan strategies of goalkeepers who are in the process of making the step up from youth level to senior experience, serving as a link between the men’s squad, loan management team and U21s group.
