Liverpool have confirmed that Chris Morgan is to leave the club this summer, signalling the beginning of the club’s restructuring under Jürgen Klopp
Physiotherapist Chris Morgan is set to leave Liverpool
Jürgen Klopp is beginning to make his mark on the Liverpool set-up at Melwood this summer, with Liverpool announcing on their official website that their head physiotherapist will be departing the club.
Morgan has spent eleven years at Anfield, serving both the First Teams and Youth Teams, treating players as varied as Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Andriy Voronin.
Chris Morgan has treated a number of Liverpool players in the past, including Gerrard
He has previously served under Rafa Benitez, Gerrard Houlier and current England manager Roy Hodgson as well as Brendan Rodgers amongst others, but it seems after less than a year working with ex-Dortmund boss Klopp, the German has decided it be best to part ways.
“Chris is someone who commands the professional respect and personal warmth of the first-team players and all his colleagues at Melwood,” Liverpool FC have commented.
“The dedication and commitment he has shown to Liverpool, over a long period, has been immense. His expertise and experience has rightly gained him industry-wide recognition.
“We thank Chris for his considerable contribution and everyone at the club wishes him success for the future.”
Klopp is ringing the changes at Anfield
Klopp may now be looking at the summer as the ideal opportunity to make his mark on the set-up at Melwood, having previously had little time to make sweeping changes to the backroom staff, having joined the club in October of last year.
The rigours and demands of the Premier League have warranted his focus elsewhere, but now in the off-season, he has the chance to mould Liverpool’s backroom staff into the ideal support for how he wants the team to play.
Klopp made his name for Gegenpressing at Dortmund
Indeed, his infamous Gegenpressing approach is extremely demanding on the players physically, and as such, Klopp may be looking at other physiotherapists more used to dealing with the high intensity of such a tactical approach.
It appears the Klopp red revolution is truly now in full swing.
