Barcelona has officially announced the appointment of German Benjamin Kogler as the new fitness coach under head coach Hans Flick, in preparation for the upcoming season. This signing follows Kogler's extensive career in European football and international teams.
Kogler is a trusted name for Flick, having previously worked together in the coaching staff of the German national team, contributing to their 2014 World Cup victory under coach Joachim Low. He also has prior experience with clubs such as Werder Bremen, Cologne, PSV Eindhoven, and Benfica.
This move is part of a restructuring of Barcelona's coaching staff, with Kogler taking over the physical preparation of the first team, succeeding Julio Tous, who will take on a new role within the club's sporting structure.
