Manchester United have appointed Andy O’Boyle, one of Jurgen Klopp’s former fitness coaches at Liverpool, as their new deputy football director.
O’Boyle will work under John Murtough in a bid to help new manager Erik ten Hag bring back the glory days.
The Northern Irishman will leave his role as Head of Elite Performance at the Premier League to join the Red Devils this summer. O’Boyle also has history at United, working with the likes of Marcus Rashford in the academy.
“We are delighted to welcome Andy back to Manchester United to take up this important role in the club’s leadership,” Murtough declared in a statement.
“Andy has experience across all technical areas of football, from fitness and sports science to scouting and recruitment.
“This will make him a valuable addition to my team at Carrington as we continue to strengthen leadership and strategic planning across all our football activities.”
O’Boyle added: “I am thrilled to be rejoining Manchester United at such an exciting time for the club, as the first team prepares for a fresh start under Erik ten Hag, and the Academy and women’s teams go from strength to strength. Whilst it has been a privilege to serve the Premier League for the past five years, I can’t wait to get started at United and play my part in creating the right environment for football success.”
