Two ‘great’ Liverpool figures who Daniel Sturridge identifies will ease Arne Slot’s ‘transition’

A hectic summer is ahead at Anfield with Arne Slot taking over as manager of Liverpool starting on Saturday. Daniel Sturridge thinks having important people around will make a difference.
Despite Jurgen Klopp’s departure, former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge thinks the team is in good hands. With the commencement of a new era at Anfield, Arne Slot’s tenure as the Reds’ new head coach officially began on Saturday.
The players at Liverpool won’t be back together for another month as Slot and new sporting director Richard Hughes have some important transfer market decisions to make.
For Liverpool and its FSG owners, who have entirely reorganised its football department, this summer is going to be a major one. Michael Edwards, who was previously the CEO of Football, has rejoined the team, as has Julian Ward, who took his post at Anfield.
Although their responsibilities will go beyond what is going on in Merseyside, their top concern will be making sure Slot has all the resources he needs to make the transfer go smoothly. Additionally, Sturridge expresses confidence about Edwards’ attendance with FSG president Mike Edwards.
Regarding Klopp’s exit, the former striker said to The Times: “He accomplished amazing feats.” Those, in my opinion, were not the expectations upon his arrival. He developed wonderful relationships with individuals.
He will go down as possibly the best Liverpool manager of all time. The club is now going through a change of phases. Players expiring their contracts, a new manager—it’s just that kind of season. “However, the backstage crew is incredible.
Gordon and Edwards are two Mikes I know quite well. They have undoubtedly evaluated the manager they have hired and are aware of how well his management style fits the present team. They are also likely keeping an eye on players they would like to recruit. I don’t think Liverpool will lose this time.
Gordon will be replaced by Edwards in overseeing FSG’s football operations on a daily basis. So long as there are intentions to add another club to the sporting portfolio, Liverpool will come under his purview.
According to Liverpool.com, the Arne Slot era has officially begun. Although the preseason doesn’t begin for another month, Liverpool is probably going to have a lot going on before then. After joining the team again, Edwards will play a significant part because he has demonstrated his ability to be effective and successful in the past. However, Liverpool must now focus on the future, which, as Sturridge notes, seems to be good.
