Leicester head of medicine to leave as medical department revamps
By Akash Roy
Leicester City’s head of medicine will be leaving in the summer to revamp the club’s medical department as a part of the forthcoming rebuild. Doctor Bryan English arrived from Middlesborough in the summer of 2020 to replace long-term serving head physio in Dave Rennie, who had left the club.
Back then, the idea of a proposed restructuring of the medical department was in immediate effect, as manager Brendan Rodgers emphasized the need for a medical supervisor to oversee things. It was critical as the team took a step to begin utilizing the Segrave training facility.
"“Our idea was to revamp the medical team and we’re looking to bring in a head of medicine to oversee the medical side ahead of that transition to a new training ground.” – Brendan Rodgers in September 2020."
Dr. English’s two-year contract will run out its course after two years. As we understand it, there is no interest in renewal. Rodgers knew English from his spell as a Chelsea manager. The doctor was then the active medical director at Stamford Bridge. The newly created head of medicine role, started by English at LCFC, will be vacant soon.
