Liverpool are set to navigate a turbulent stretch off the pitch after Michael Edwards stepped down from his role as chief executive officer of football at Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the club's American owners.

Edwards, who was widely credited with reshaping Liverpool's recruitment and sporting strategy during the club's most successful recent era, has now exited one of European football's most high-profile executive positions.

His departure marks a notable moment of transition for Liverpool, who under FSG's stewardship have won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup in recent seasons.

The news signals a fresh period of structural change at Anfield, with the club now required to reshape its footballing leadership at the top level.
