No idea if claims of Zeljko Buvac leaving #LFC are true, but this is from pre-Roma training on Monday.

The rest of the staff are there (inc. Krawietz, Kornmayer & Achterberg) but no sign of The Brain.

BREAKING Liverpool No.2 Zeljko Buvac quits Anfield days before Roma clash.

Liverpool have dismissed reports that assistant manager Zeljko Buvac has quit the club – but he will be absent for the rest of the season

Raphael Honigstein @honigstein

Couple of thoughts on Buvac. Him and Klopp have had huge rows before but always made up. This might not be the end of the story. Short term effect is negligible but Klopp will want somebody else to bounce ideas off next season if he doesn’t come back.

Klopp's assistant Zeljko Buvac to take break from #LFC role between now and end of season due to personal reasons.

Club say his position unaffected and he remains an employee.

I don’t know why he’s left his position for the moment. Just wanted to make the point that their relationship has been volatile at times. They’re both impulsive characters but always came back together eventually. Let’s see what happens.

Zeljko Buvac, Liverpool’s assistant manager and the man Jürgen Klopp calls “The Brain,” will not work with the first team for the remainder of the season and appears to be on the verge of leaving the club.
Liverpool have said the matter is due to personal reasons and that Buvac’s position at Anfield is not affected.
However, his absence at such a crucial juncture of the season — Liverpool face Roma in their Champions League semi-final, second leg, on Wednesday — is extraordinary.
Buvac’s standing, and the regard in which he is held, means the timing of his decision is a significant blow and pushes more pressure on Klopp to steer the ship in the run-in.
It is understood Buvac has become increasingly distant and withdrawn around the club, and visibly less engaged during matches of late, and it is that, rather than any specific fall-out with Klopp, which has resulted in him stepping back from first-team duties in the aftermath of the stalemate with Stoke City on Saturday. Liverpool’s players were informed at training on Sunday.
The Liverpool manager Klopp will hope his right hand man can return, but if Buvac feels he does not want to be around the club at present when European ambitions are on the line it is difficult to envisage that changing.
Klopp and Buvac met as team-mates at FSV Mainz 05 and struck a pact that whoever went into management first would take the other with them.
The transition of Klopp from player to coach at Mainz in 2001 made good the agreement and they have worked together ever since, enjoying success at Borussia Dortmund and arriving at Liverpool in October 2015. Peter Krawietz – “The Eyes” – completes the triumvirate, but it is Buvac who carries most influence.
It has been previously been unthinkable to consider either Klopp or Buvac — whose relationship is more professional than social — working without the other. When Klopp signed a six-year extension to his contract in in the summer of 2016, he insisted Buvac and Krawietz were given the same contract length.
Buvac, a Bosnian Serb, operates above the level of a normal assistant and Klopp has not hid the importance of a man six years his senior. During matches he was usually heavily involved in which substitutions take place and at what stage of a game.
He was furious with the goalkeeper coach John Achterberg in a game against Chelsea last November when the Londoners scored an equaliser while Liverpool were trying to bring on the substitute Adam Lallana and switch to a five-man backline. Buvac refused to speak to Achterberg, who liaises with the fourth official over substitutions.
Overall, Liverpool’s secret lies in their training, the repetition of attacking movements behind their relentless approach, and Buvac is central to everything that happens on the training pitch.
Klopp has been weighing up tweaks to his backroom team during the season, especially in the physiotherapy department. Andy Renshaw, the head of physiotherapy, left the club in October and there have been continued discussions on how to improve the department.
There will be disappointment among Liverpool supporters and a sense of uneasiness also at the prospect of history repeating itself.
Gerard Houller won a cup treble in 2001, including the Uefa Cup, but lost his assistant Patrice Bergues, who returned to France. The club was unable to maintain the same level of progress going forward.
In 2007, weeks after the club’s Champions League defeat to AC Milan, the assistant manager Pako Ayesteran quit Liverpool after a fall-out with Rafa Benítez. Ayesteran was perceived as crucial to the club’s success under Benitez and the club never managed to replicate the heights they reached in the years after his departure.
