Liverpool loses multiple key staff members amid transfer and coaching changes

Liverpool is undergoing significant changes both on and off the pitch following their recent Premier League success. The club has submitted a £113 million bid for Florian Wirtz, while Federico Chiesa has expressed his desire to leave Liverpool due to limited playing time, aiming to return to Italy. In a major reshuffle, influential academy coach Barry Lewtas, who spent 12 years at the club developing young talents, has departed to pursue senior management roles, alongside U18s coach Marc Bridge-Wilkinson. Off the field, Liverpool has lost key staff members, including opposition analyst James French, who is joining Manchester City's coaching team under Pep Guardiola, coinciding with a broader overhaul at the Etihad. These changes reflect Liverpool's intent to build on their Premier League triumph while adapting to a new era under manager Arne Slot after Jurgen Klopp's resignation. The club is actively seeking replacements for multiple coaching and staff positions to maintain their competitive edge.
