It has been confirmed that Newcastle has again managed to poach another member of Liverpool’s backroom team.

Late last year saw Jurgen Klopp lose a valuable member of his team, the sides head of post-match and elite player development analysis Mark Leyland to Newcastle, as the magpies look to strengthen the club on all fronts.

Yesterday it was confirmed that the Reds have indeed lost another member of the backroom team to Newcastle, this time around the vice-president of partnership sales Jonathan Kane after 15 years with the club overseeing various partnership deals with global brands, including the likes of EA Sports and Coca-Cola.

‘I Feel Incredibly Fortunate’

In a post on his official Linkedin, Kane confirmed his departure saying “After 15 amazing years, I recently left Liverpool Football Club. I feel incredibly fortunate to have made so many friends along the way and experienced so many wonderful memories,

“95,000 fans singing You’ll Never Walk Alone at the MCG and winning the Champions League in Madrid we’re two out of a thousand highlights. I’m grateful to have worked with some fantastic partners and talented colleagues but will always be indebted to the legendary Ian Ayre for giving me the opportunity.”

Kane then went on to add “Has been quite a journey to experience those humble beginnings from our little office in the Liverpool Echo building to become the commercial powerhouse LFC is today.”
