One of the pillars among the staff of legendary English club Manchester United FC has left for FC Cincinnati. Gary Walker headed Man. Utd’s Sports and Science staff. He moves to the States as Cincinnati’s Director of Sports Performance.
Walker, with 11 years at Man U, is the second Sports and Science staffer to exit in a month. Robin Thorpe, head of Recovery and Regeneration, left after 10 years to train Olympic athletes in Phoenix.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær had sent off some training staff members that differed with him, but he surely never meant for Walker and Thorpe to get away.
