Speaking back in December 2019, Klopp opened up on the “brilliant” relationship he has with Edwards.
“[The relationship] is brilliant, absolutely brilliant,” he said. “Mike Gordon (FSG president) is here [in Liverpool] at the moment as everyone knows!
“It is a very good relationship, his whole department is doing a sensational job. It was an easy decision making at these times in Liverpool.
“It is good. It is all based on a lot of thought, he is a very thoughtful person and we don’t have to always have to have the same opinion from the first second of a conversation but we finish pretty much all the talks with the same opinion. Or similar opinions.
“That is all good. It is really great working together. All the relationships we have created over the years, all the time we have spent together, it was important.”
