Jurgen Klopp’s relationship with Mike Gordon was well-known to all ahead of his departure from Liverpool this summer.
There’s a very strong possibility now that incoming boss Arne Slot won’t get the opportunity to enjoy a similar bond with the FSG president.
The Echo reports that the American will be officially taking a step back from his responsibilities around the club following the appointment of Michael Edwards as CEO of Football.
“Face to face talks were held in Boston in early March and shortly after Edwards was named as FSG’s ‘CEO of football’ with a broader remit drawn up for him to embark on the American’s plan for a controversial multi-club model while effectively replacing Mike Gordon as the day to day head of Liverpool FC,” Paul Gorst wrote for the publication.
