Andreas Davi continues to add to the Milwaukee Torrent's staff for the American Soccer League 2 team's inaugural 2016 season.

Markus Mück, a soccer-specific sport psychologist for Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, will serve as a consultant for the Torrent, the club announced Wednesday.

Davi said that Mück, who has worked with the German club's academy players for the past two years, won't be based in Milwaukee but will make trips to visit the team and will provide additional assistance from afar.

"He's going to come here for tryouts, he's going to come here during the season," Davi said. "I'm going to send him tapes of the players and he will help me with analysis of the players – the way the player moves on the field, the body language."

Mück has worked with Davi during his annual International German Fit Soccer Camp,  which is running this week in Menomonee Falls, and worked alongside Torrent assistant Steve Long when he coached in the Bayer Leverkusen Academy.

Davi said he likely will round out his coaching staff by hiring a goalkeeper coach.
