Thomas Gronnemark is sadly set to call time on his service with Liverpool Football Club this summer, with the Dane’s contract not to be renewed by the Anfield side.
This update comes courtesy of James Pearce at The Athletic following a five-year stint with Jurgen Klopp’s outfit.
It’s understood that though his impending departure is of an amicable nature, the throw-in coach came to loggerheads with the club over the increasing lack of time he was handed to work with the playing squad on the training ground.

It seems the club have judged the value of the 47-year-old’s contributions to not be worth extended time working with the players; an interesting decision given the manager’s interest in squeezing every possible marginal gain out of his side in an era where the Manchester City juggernaut leaves very little room for weakness or era.
Regardless, it’s a decision we trust has not been taken lightly by key decision-makers at L4 and we’d like to take this opportunity here at Empire of the Kop to thank Thomas for his years of service at the club and wish him all the best for the future.
