Matt Konopinski has quit his role as Rangers Head of Medical just 10 months after being hired by the Glasgow giants, according to Training Ground Guru.
The football website reports that Konopiski has left Ibrox due to family reasons as working away from his Liverpool-based family has proven difficult.
Rangers hired Konopinski in January after he previously held a role with the English FA, where he worked with England’s Under-18s, Under-19s and Under-21s teams.
Prior to working with the FA, Konopinski worked at Liverpool as a first-team physio and head of physiotherapy. During that nine-year spell at Anfield, he worked alongside Rangers manager and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
Unfortunately, Konopinski has failed to adapt to life in Glasgow, which is fair enough and we wish him the very best for the next step in his career – which for him is hopefully closer to Merseyside.
Rangers have had their fair share of injury issues in the opening weeks of the current season so losing a man at this stage is likely to add some extra strain to the club’s medical staff.
Joe Aribo returned to action for the Gers at the weekend after a couple of months on the sidelines but Kemar Roofe and Nikola Katic are among those who are still out.
There are bound to be more players suffering injuries over the coming weeks as we’ve just had a hectic international break where some teams played three times, an Old Firm against Celtic and the start of the Europa League group stages.
Gerrard has a big squad at his disposal but he wants all of his players available for as many games as possible.
