Brighton targeting Leicester's Jelle ten Rouwelaar as new goalkeeping coach
Brighton & Hove Albion are targeting Jelle ten Rouwelaar as their new goalkeeping coach, with the Dutchman's future in doubt at Leicester City. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler is keen to reunite Ten Rouwelaar with Brighton's first-choice goalkeeper and fellow countryman Bart Verbruggen. The pair have worked together previously at NAC Breda in the Netherlands and Belgian club Anderlecht. Advertisement Ten Rouwelaar arrived at Leicester with head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy in November. The Dutchmen were part of the backroom team at Manchester United under former manager Erik ten Hag. Their futures are up in the air following Leicester's relegation from the Premier League. Hurzeler began an overhaul of his backroom staff at the Amex Stadium this week with the departures of goalkeeping coaches Marco Knoop and Jack Stern. Knoop arrived last summer with Hurzeler from German club St Pauli. Stern, a boyhood Brighton supporter, joined the club in 2022, working under Hurzeler and former head coaches Roberto De Zerbi and Graham Potter. Knoop was also defensive set piece coach. Brighton are hiring a set piece specialist this summer as well as a new goalkeeping coach after finishing eighth in the Premier League in Hurzeler's first season. ()
