Football Digest: Liverpool start the season strong<\/h3>\n

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp might end up working with Michael Edwards again after the legendary former sporting director started a new role. Edwards, who has been linked with several high-profile clubs over the last year, has decided to embark on an independent advisory job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old stepped down from his job at Anfield after a remarkable 11 years. Faith in a data-led approach helped him rebuild the Merseysiders and his work, alongside Klopp\u2019s arrival in 2015, led to Premier League and Champions League triumphs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It has been one of the most successful periods in the club\u2019s history. But the scale of Edwards\u2019 work was placed into context following his surprise exit in the summer of 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former Portsmouth analyst was replaced by his No 2, Julian Ward, but he lasted just a year before departing. Ward\u2019s replacement, Jorg Schmadtke, was handpicked by Klopp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several changes at the club have prompted a wobble at Anfield, with Liverpool finishing fifth in the Premier League last season. The jury also remains out on a huge summer overhaul that saw Liverpool spend a little under \u00a3150m on a brand new midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s recent struggles have made Edwards\u2019 work appear even better. The former Reds chief could now be set to work with Klopp again if he chooses to help the Reds in his new advisory role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic, Edwards will take on a non-executive role at Ludonautics working alongside Liverpool\u2019s former director of research, Ian Graham. The job will allow Edwards to begin his own advisory service, and that could lead to a reunion with Klopp if he chooses to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report adds that Edwards\u2019s new job would not rule him out of becoming a director of football at a new club. However, it claims that he has little desire to do so after 11 years at Liverpool.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Edwards previously worked as the head of performance analysis at Tottenham and Portsmouth. Reports over the last 18 months have linked him with the sporting director roles at Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liverpool would certainly benefit from Edwards\u2019s advice, even on an ad-hoc basis. He would be able to steer them back on track and help Klopp challenge Manchester City for another Premier League title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
