Andreas Kornmayer’s early impact at Liverpool has been hailed by Jurgen Klopp.
The German fitness coach joined the Reds’ backroom staff this summer following over a decade working with Bayern Munich.
And Klopp has been impressed with Kornmayer’s work with Liverpool’s players during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.
“First of all he’s an absolute mastermind in all the things he has to do for us,” he told the club’s official website.
“He’s an experienced guy who has worked together with the best teachers and the best players.
“Education and experience are the most important things in this job and he combines these two things in the perfect way.
“We didn’t know each other before he came here, but he fits really well. I think the players will feel the benefit.
“Athletic fitness, it’s not a case of ‘do it today, feel it tomorrow’, it’s all about doing the right things and then repeating them to reach the next level.”
