Three Champions League finals in five years, three seasons accruing over 90 points in the Premier League, going toe-to-toe with an era defining Pep Guardiola side and securing the club’s first title in 30 years, it’s fair to say Jürgen Klopp has built one of Liverpool’s greatest ever teams, one that will serve as a benchmark for great English sides of the future.

But while the German coach has cemented his legendary status by taking the Reds back to the top of the game, another, much lesser-known figure has also been equally influential in the club’s success. Had it not been for the club’s sporting director Michael Edwards, Klopp may never have been hired by Liverpool in the first place, and yet in 2020, the year that they finally got their hands back on the league title, Daniel Taylor wrote in the Athletic that “he can still walk around Anfield without anybody recognising him.”

He is finally leaving Merseyside this summer, almost 11 years after he was first hired as an analyst, leaving behind a glittering legacy and capping off his tenure with one of the most impressive campaigns in the club’s history.

But how did Edwards become such a trusted and powerful figure within the Liverpool hierarchy? And what has been the secret to his success? On today’s FD Explained, we’re taking a trip to Melwood.
