Jurgen Klopp is expected to be handed greater power away from the pitch at Liverpool over the coming months, according to reports.
Klopp recently signed a contract extension until June 2026 and the deal has further enhanced his power at the club he joined in October 2015 to take over from Brendan Rodgers. He said at the time he was “delighted, humbled, blessed, privileged and excited” to commit his future to Liverpool – and it seems the club are happy to keep him happy by giving him greater sway over decisions.
The Sun reports that the departure of sporting director Michael Edwards is a significant step at Liverpool. Edwards has been hugely influential at Liverpool over the past 11 years. He has held the roles of head of analytics, director of technical performance, technical director and sporting director and established a stellar reputation.
