Long before Sipke Hulshoff took his place on the sidelines as Liverpool’s assistant manager, he honed his craft halfway across the globe. Over a decade ago, Hulshoff was the head coach of Red Bull Ghana, a football academy that aimed to develop young talents in Africa. His experience there not only shaped his coaching philosophy but also gave him a unique perspective on football development at the grassroots level. This international stint contributed to his well-rounded approach to coaching, eventually leading him to one of the biggest clubs in the world—Liverpool FC.
