Mark Leyland: Evolving the Role of the Analyst (Training Ground Guru Podcast)

Our guest on Episode #56 of the TGG Podcast, in association with Hudl, is Mark Leyland.

Mark is one of the foremost analysts in this country and has become much more than that. He started his career in the Academy at Everton and went on to work for Burnley, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Mark is one of the few backroom staff to be name-checked by managers. Eddie Howe described him as 'integral' and said 'we love him to bits,' while Jurgen Klopp said he had played 'a big part' in Liverpool's success.

Mark was a Post-Match Analyst for Liverpool, evolved into a Coach-Analyst at Newcastle and is now Head of Coaching Methodology for City Football Group.

Simon Austin spoke to Mark in front of a live audience at Hudl's UK Football Conference at Loughborough University.
