Fenway Sports Group, the owners of Liverpool have quite a balancing task in their way of getting Michael Edwards back to Anfield. The owners of Liverpool claimed they will aim to convince Edwards into a comeback, at least in an advisory capacity, as he recently departed his position as Sporting Director last year after spending more than ten years with the club.
FSG has given the consideration of handing the newly senior role to Edwards, which would see him responsible for supervising the process of appointing two fresh Reds sporting director and manager. Also, Jorg Schmadtke, the former managing director, has left his job, and then, after the end of the season, Jurgen Klopp, the current manager, will leave.
FSG understands the arduous task in Edwards’ mind to change his decision to leave for good. However, the owners and managers do not shy away from their attempts to re-sign him for the team. During his reign at the helm of Liverpool, Edwards’ performance was of a satisfactory standard, which made him a highly sought before person. FSG assumes that a return of the manager might be crucial to tackle the incoming period of adjustment.
What is the scenario regarding Michael Edwards at Liverpool now?
The new managers have to keep in mind the fact that strong leadership is the key to a successful club in the next stage. They view Edwards as a great contributor to the creation and unity of the desired vision. It may have looked like that, but they are not going to lose their faith in his return. In FSG’s case, the allure of a greater role could be enough to persuade Edwards to return.
Edwards’ exit created a vacuum in the club’s management. To bridge this vacuum, FSG plans to recruit a competent and experienced manager. His expertise and familiarity with the club’s culture give him a real advantage for leading the changes that are about to happen to the club.
