New Everton boss Ronald Koeman has hired Feyenoord goalkeeping coach Patrick Lodewijks.
Lodewijks, 49, worked with Koeman at Feyenoord. He has been a goalkeeping coach at the Dutch giants since 2007 and also been in charge of the club's U-21 team.
In his playing days Lodewijks made over 350 appearances during a 20-year career in Dutch football.
He started his career at PSV Eindhoven, where he first played with Koeman, before an 11-year spell with Groningen. Lodewijks then returned to PSV before finishing his career with Feyenoord.
He joins assistant coach Erwin Koeman and fitness coach Jan Kluitenberg - who came with Koeman from Southampton - in the Goodison Park backroom.
Former Everton goalkeeping coach Inaki Bergara left Everton in May as part of the departures in the wake of Roberto Martinez's dismissal.
