Jurgen Klopp‘s impending departure has set the stage for a major shakeup at Liverpool, with the Reds eyeing a sensational return for former sporting director Michael Edwards, according to an exclusive report.
Klopp’s seismic announcement last Friday that he would be stepping down at the end of the season sent shockwaves through the football world, prompting Liverpool to embark on a quest to replace the iconic manager.

The impending exodus also includes coaches Pep Lijnders, Peter Krawietz, and Elite Development Coach Vitor Matos, necessitating a comprehensive overhaul at Anfield.
Sporting director Jorg Schmadtke, who only joined last summer, is also on his way out, leaving a void that could be filled by none other than Michael Edwards.
The Daily Mail reports that now is the “ideal opportunity” to entice Edwards back to Anfield.
Michael Edwards, who spent 11 years at Liverpool, played a pivotal role in the club’s success, overseeing crucial signings like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson Becker.

Currently engaged in his data consultancy Ludonautics, Edwards has garnered attention for his work with Bolton Wanderers and other clubs.
While it’s suggested that Edwards may not be seeking a traditional sporting director role, Liverpool could create a new position for the mastermind behind some of the club’s most significant signings.
Rumours have also linked Edwards to Manchester United‘s new era under Sir Jim Radcliffe’s INEOS operation, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding saga.
