Klopp to bring in Bayern Munich fitness coach Andreas Kornmayer

Reports tonight suggest Jürgen Klopp has signed Bayern Munich fitness coach Andreas Kornmayer as Liverpool's next head of fitness.

Anyone got any information on this guy?

He's a specialist in creating individual rehabilitation programmes, strengthening the the likes of Ribery, Lahm, Gotze after sideline spells

Sounds interesting, wondering how this opportunity cropped up. Was he connected to the medical team, do City already have a coach Pep prefers or have we head hunted him?!?

Is this the doc that Pep fell out with at Munich?.

Edit wrong guy..

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.

Don't think so mate, I thought 4 of them walked, him (the doctor not the guy named above) being one of them but don't take that as gospel.

Edited my post above mate, Klopp assembling his jigsaw for next season...

Long time admirer then, I like the sound of that!

Hopefully he will know a lot about Mario Gotze's injuries and can tell us whether he is worth the risk.

Certainly have inside knowledge on whether he's being/has been a lazy b***ard. Could be good news for Studge too if he stays, who knows. I just like that we're getting another coach that's coached/trained players into winners, should keep Fed off the suicide watch list 

Hopefully Klopp can get a new/better GK coach.

Sounds like the result of two parties in Klopp and Kornmayer who have long been interested in the possibility of working together. Kornmayer would probably have betted on that eventuality occurring with Klopp as Bayern manager!

Looks a lot like Jürgen too!

The Reds boss has lined up the 41-year-old, who has worked with the reigning Bundesliga champions since 2004, to head up fitness ahead of his first full season in charge


Jürgen Klopp is set to recruit the esteemed Andreas Kornmayer from Bayern Munich to replace Ryland Morgans as Liverpool’s Head of Fitness and Conditioning.



The 41-year-old, who has worked with the German giants since 2004 from academy level up to the first team is expected to join the Reds at the end of the season. He has served under managers Pep Guardiola, Jupp Heynckes and Louis van Gaal, now in charge of Manchester United, at the Allianz Arena.

Morgans, appointed by former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers in 2012, announced his decision to end a four-year association with the club at the end of March to "pursue new challenges".


Klopp considered internal and external candidates following his departure, before deciding that the Munich-born man would be the best addition to the sports science team.

Kornmayer began his spell helping whip Bayern into shape in July 2010, gaining promotion from the Under-19 and reserve set-up during Van Gaal's tenure. He conditioned the team for 43 games under the Dutchman, 109 during Heynckes' all-conquering stint and has overseen fitness in 151 matches thus far under Guardiola.

He is a specialist in creating individual rehabilitation programmes, strengthening the the likes of Franck Ribery, Philipp Lahm and Mario Gotze after sideline spells.

As Klopp gears up for his first complete campaign at the Reds' helm and prepares for an intensive pre-season, Kornmayer will be a crucial element to ensuring Liverpool are able to deal with the demands of the manager's 'full-throttle' approach in 2016-17.

Andy O'Boyle, who has been filling in since Morgans' exit, will continue in the role until the appointment takes effect.

Better pic of Kornmayer. I don't know how to reduce the size so it has to be a link unfortunately.

Looks the spitting image of Pep

That photo is spooky. If I was Jürgen I'd be afraid, very afraid. 

I guess the man's reputation on player 'rehab' is a big draw for Jürgen because (reading back) the fitness levels under Morgans were very rarely, if ever questioned. It's a given that we are always going to suffer injuries - with a squad not exactly dripping in depth, getting top players back quickly has to be a plus.

Good move.

Great to see Klopp putting his stamp on the back room staff, can only be good in the long run.

Good to see this guy coming in.



Wouldn't want to see the players overtrained by Klopp ...  as one poster  recently suggested.
Now would we ?

Or is he moving across with Ribery, Lahm and Gotze..   

We all want a team of Jürgen Klopps, a team of Jürgen Klopps....

I know nothing of him, but if the gaffer rates him and he can help with Studge, Hendo and Lukas then fair play.

I had to do a lot of reading there to see it was not Martin Freeman.

If Klopp wanted him, then welcome on board Andreas.

Looks like a young  Chuck Norris

Does look like Jürgen is laying the foundations for next season.

Good to see this guy coming in.

Nice to see that poster proven right.

Good to see us snapping up a fitness coach to address the problem before making any major player signings. Sensible move - looks like great minds think alike.

How does that make you right? 

We're replacing Ryland Morgan who left last month.

I think it indicates - as I said - that we have a problem with training up the players in the right way. Good to see it being addressed. I'm sure Morgan left in the same way that Brendan did once a superior choice became available.

sh*t source but no he didn't.

Your link just says he has left for "new challenges" - doesn't say where or when - it doesn't disprove my point in the slightest.

But your assumption was that he was removed because the new guy became available.  This sentence would say otherwise.

Klopp, who will consider both external and internal candidates for the full-time post next season but is likely to want someone familiar with his requirements, thanked Morgans for the contribution he has made.

Seems as though 1/2 the people on this forum are here to be proven "right" or "I told you so" more so than just having decent discussions regarding the club.

No it doesn't - that's the reporter's opinion and Klopp, or any decent boss, would have thanked the outgoing person for their contribution in any case.

The point is that I pointed out we had a problem in this area and was shouted down for it - then, as predicted, the players started dropping with musculoskeletal injuries consistent with overtraining, just like they did in his first season at Dortmund. Now the previous fitness coach is leaving and we are bringing in one of the world's best from Bayern even before we have made any major player signings.

Deny it all you want - short of Klopp commissioning a neon sign quoting me I'm not sure what kind of proof you would find acceptable.

Same for you though.  You are proved right because you choose to read the situation in a way that "proves" you right and can't help yourself but to brag about it.

Ryland "quit" unexpectedly last month to pursue new challenges.  Jürgen says he'll look at both internal and external candidates to replace him. 

To you that equates to "I was right because I said Jürgen has been over training the players and needs somebody to stop the injuries so Ryland was removed from his post due to the new guy becoming available and therefore can replace him".

Why come into the thread being the big I am, always right, everybody else wrong when really who the F**k cares.

We lost our fitness and conditioning coach last month and now we have a new one ready to start in the summer - that's the topic of the thread not your F***ing ego or whether you're right.

I'm going to pretend like I have any clue who this guy is and applaud the move.

Yea!

When Klopp came in he said he was unhappy with the fitness of the squad. I don't think any one should be gaining false glory for the 'I told you so', except maybe Jürgen himself.

Debs, don't waste your time and effort mate, it really is pathetic that a grown adult reverts to ' I told you so' just to make themselves feel good, if he wants to suck his own dick and pretend he has a ego we lesser mortals can only scoff at, let him carry on, reality is tho he's full of sh*t and loves to antagonise those who dare to differ from his opinion,

I remember a few months ago I and a few others discovered how much wummery exudes from this particular poster, I didn't want to say at the time but, I did tell you so

You're right Billy I should keep him on ignore, keeps my blood pressure down.

I think this is a great move by Jürgen, his Gegenpressing style requires fitness levels that outweigh the normal levels of a premier league athlete, it's clear Ryland Morgan's is a excellent fitness coach however, even he was hard pushed to get the players to the level of fitness Jürgen requires, it's no slant on the fella, he just wanted to move on to other challenges,

This new fella Kornmayer knows what fitness levels Jürgen wants, but not only that he specialises on individual players each having different methods of reaching required level, it's the appliance of science, and the way forward in how football clubs look after their investments.

Who cares? All the posters who took such glee in shouting me (and others) down at the time we were saying these things.

I was shouted time at the time, when my predictions were proven correct and now that Klopp is addressing the issues I pointed out "no-one cares". You seem bitter that time has proved us right - had the opposite been the case then I can assure you the people with whom your opinions coincide wouldn't currently be shy of saying they were right all along.

Whatever though - in the end it doesn't make any real difference - none of these posts do - it's an internet football forum. 

You're right Billy I should keep him on ignore, keeps my blood pressure down.

Oh FFS if it really bothers you that much to deal with differing opinions then put me on ignore and you can get back to praising Jürgen to high heaven every time we win a game and saying "oh well it's just too early to judge" every time we lose one.

It will do wonders for your blood pressure.

I can assure you HB that most the time it's not your ideas that are being shouted down, just the way you choose to express yourself. As I've said already though, the only one who deserves praise for the 'I told you so' is Klopp, who identified the fitness issue and stated it publically even before the spate of injuries.

I can assure you HB that most the time it's not your ideas that are being shouted down, just the way you choose to express yourself.

I treat people the way they treat me.

if people want to talk respectfully I'm happy to do so; if they gang up with derogatory abuse then I'm happy to reply in kind - no reason why I should do otherwise, I'm a football fan not the reincarnation of Jesus.

i'm surprised the shrinking violets on here need so much emotional support.

Klopp has overtrained the players - he has a history of doing at Dortmund and the problems are exacerbated in the English league which is more physical. I'm glad to see we are addressing the problem.

Sorry for pointing this out a while ago but don't hate the player - hate the game.

You didn't point this out to me or first nor was it any great piece of insight, you're getting no credit because you deserve none on this. And I call bullshit on you post the way you find bullshit as well, a lot of posters are very terse, including myself at times.

Bloody hell Tory Boy manages to piss off people on the appt of a back room assistant.

I don't understand your second sentence - nevertheless the point is that there are plenty on here who are happy to attack me and I am allowed to respond as I see fit within the rules of the forum.

If you want to employ your energies productively then you might be best pointing them towards the gang of schoolgirls who burst into tears when their opinions are challenged.

I've tended to stay away from Match Day threads in recent games as the score-box irritates me if my stream is running slow - however, before those few matches, if you total the number of contributions I've made on the match day threads they will outnumber yours by about ten to one so it looks like you've embarrassed yourself again. 

It's amazing the bitching that goes on in some of these threads.

Presume must be starting soon, so Welcome!

Klopp wasn't happy with the fitness levels when he arrived alright. Primarily as the fitness regime before was progression based, in order to have the players peaking at the end of the season. Whereas Klopp wanted peak fitness instantly to play his heavy metal football, where you need to run everywhere yesterday.

I have nothing against either approach, but his first game against Spurs showed the benefits and consequences of the new regime, where everyone ran around like tigers for the first half hour, and walked around like tortoises for the rest of the game. Since then, the players have learned to adapt, and this new appointment should help maintain the levels he wants and we need, ready from Day 1.

No team is every fit enough... Klopp know we need to be much fitter to compensate for the comparative lack of funds. I am also just trying to move that Sevilla thread lower... sigh
