Since Klopp, who has won seven major awards in nine years, announced his resignation in January, the club has made a number of behind-the-scenes adjustments at Anfield.
The 45-year-old Slot has taken the place of the German, but the parent company of Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), has rehired former executives Michael Edwards and Julian Ward, who departed in 2022, to create a new organizational structure that will oversee strategy for the organization’s president, Mike Gordon, and principle owner John W. Henry.
According to Hogan, who oversees Merseyside’s business operations, Klopp’s exit has “given an opportunity for a reboot or reset and maybe to it.
“Jurgen departing was a seismic decision, but clearly the right decision for him and his family, so by extension the right decision for the club,” said Hogan, who is known to have a tight personal bond with Klopp.
“I believe he has accomplished his goal of leaving the club in a better state than when he arrived, since he made that very plain. His declaration came at a time that allowed us to follow the correct procedures.
