Manchester United goalkeeping coach Emilio Alvarez has left Old Trafford with immediate effect, the club have confirmed.
Alvarez is close to David de Gea having worked together at Atletico Madrid and joined United in 2016 to reunite with his former colleague.
The Spaniard was the only member of Jose Mourinho’s backroom staff to be kept on under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his successor as manager, last December.
News of Alvarez’s departure comes only weeks after De Gea brought uncertainty over his future to an end by signing a new four-year contract after months of protracted negotiations.
“I would like to thank Emilio for all his help and hard work since my return to the club,” said Solskjaer. “We all wish him well for the future.”
Alvarez said: “I will always be proud of belonging to this club. Wishing you every success in your endeavours.”
