Liverpool coaching staff member confirms summer departure as Jurgen Klopp message sent

Thomas Gronnemark will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after five years as the club's specialist throw-in coach.

The Dane was employed by Jurgen Klopp at the start of the 2018/19 campaign after the Reds boss discovered that his team were losing possession too often from their own throws.

Liverpool initially ranked 18th in the Premier League for taking throw-ins when under pressure, meaning they often lost the ball when restarting play but Gronnemark's coaching saw a dramatic rise at Anfield, to the point where they were retaining possession over 68% of the time. That was a tally which took them to the top spot in England and second in Europe behind only FC Midtjylland, who were the other club who the specialist was working with at the time.
