In little over a year Liverpool have had to contend with two sporting directors opting to seek pastures new.
In November of 2021 it was Michael Edwards who signalled his intention to depart, the former sporting director having long been seen as a key figure in the Reds renaissance under manager Jurgen Klopp, one that saw the club score plenty of success stories in the transfer market and underspend against their rivals yet achieve more than them, bagging a Champions League and Premier League title along the way.
Edwards' decision was understood to be born from a desire to take a break and then seek new opportunities having spent more than a decade at Anfield, brought to the club from Tottenham Hotspur by former sporting director Damien Comolli back in 2010.
