Liverpool have lined up Bayern Munich’s fitness coach, Andreas Kornmayer, to become their head of fitness and conditioning next season.
Kornmayer, 41, has worked for his home-town club for more than a decade and progressed through the ranks before being promoted to first-team duties in 2010.
He has worked for Louis van Gaal, Jupp Heynckes and Pep Guardiola over the past six years but, with a summer of upheaval in store at the Allianz Arena as the Spanish coach heads for Manchester City, Kornmayer has accepted Jürgen Klopp’s offer to head Liverpool’s fitness team.
Klopp has admired Kornmayer’s work at Bayern for several years, albeit reluctantly as he believes their fitness levels were a factor in Heynckes’s team winning the treble at his Borussia Dortmund squad’s expense in 2013.
“Don’t forget,” the Liverpool manager said this year, “the 2013 treble-winning team of Bayern was unbelievably strong and they had all their players fit until the end.”
Kornmayer, who will take up his post at Anfield in the summer, replaces Dr Ryland Morgans, who ended a four-year stint at Liverpool last month.
Morgans’ contract was due to expire at the end of the season and his first-team duties have been taken on by Andy O’Boyle, the Liverpool Under-21s fitness coach.

It will never happen .... dont think I even called Bodge a cunt ... adored Rafa, respected Houllier, Rodgers was the right guy at the time and then he missed his window ...

There's rumours that he's going back to Bayern under Ancelotti. It'd be a bit weird working for them, while in a consultancy role with us, no? Graeme Kelly said back in October/November that he'd be coming to us, but has now said he's going back to Bayern.Originally posted by el matador View Postsmall rumour that Dr HM might be joining our Medical team as an executive consultant or in some other capacity. Not full time though.

Jurgen Klopp had a "feeling" he would be on Liverpool's list of possible successors to Brendan Rodgers - but he needed to be persuaded to take over as manager.
His agent Marc Kosicke has revealed how Klopp had much to consider after being approached by Reds chief executive Ian Ayre following Rodgers' last October.
The German coach was enjoying a break after the end of his seven-year spell with Borussia Dortmund and was in no rush to get back into football.
"We had the feeling that we could imagine Jurgen to be a candidate there if something happens," Kosicke told Goal.com
"Then Brendan Rodgers was sack and the CEO contacted us. He asked for a meeting with Jurgen and the owners if we are interested. He found Liverpool very interesting but we had a bit of free time ahead of us and some other plans.
"He wanted to go to the Caribbean with his family, watch the Super Bowl and go skiing. We also had planned an educational trip to the USA to look at other sports.
"He was aware if we agree with Liverpool everything would be cancelled. So he wasn't totally euphoric and persuasiveness from Liverpool were necessary. They had to convince him of their structures and their visions. Finally the personal things fitted and he said to himself: I want to go there!"
Six months on Kosicke believes it was Klopp's "destiny" to manage Liverpool.
"It's a pretty good match," he added.
"It's a bit like destiny that it has been Liverpool the new club for Klopp. Every club where Jurgen was manager until now the fans sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before the games. It was like that in Mainz and Dortmund. And Liverpool is the cradle of that song."

Nothing about this man post match.
Wow, so much belief in him as an individual. Wonder what he said to them all at half time.
Klopp on LFC vs MUFC (March 9th 2016) - "This is why I love football. This is why we watched it when we were young. I can still not have enough of it."

Always, keep your face to the sun, and shadows will fall behind you.
