Arne Slot is currently having trouble transferring to Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp has never had any experience
During his tenure from 2016 to 2022 as Liverpool’s inaugural sporting director, Michael Edwards earned a stellar reputation without the need for exaggeration. While he famously avoided discussing his role in the recruitment department at Anfield, Edwards’s contributions were instrumental in aiding Jurgen Klopp in assembling a team that achieved unprecedented success in football, clinching every major trophy from 2019 to 2022. Notably, players such as Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, and Alisson Becker were all secured under Edwards’s supervision. Liverpool’s accomplishments in the transfer market, particularly from 2016 to 2018, provided Klopp with the necessary resources to craft a formidable squad, resulting in triumphs in both the Champions League and the Premier League within a span of just 12 months.
Edwards’s infamously low profile became legendary among the club’s supporters as a result. As ‘CEO of football’ at Anfield—the title specifically assigned to him upon his return to the fold of the Fenway Sports Group earlier this year—supporters worried about the move away from Klopp will be reassured by his presence at Liverpool once again because of his track record.
