Liverpool are slowly building towards the new season after a summer of real change.
The Reds had become used to having Jurgen Klopp in charge over almost a decade but have now had to deal with a passing of the torch.
It isn’t just Klopp who has left Liverpool, though.
The German was followed out of Anfield by seven members of his backroom staff.
With a new sporting director installed in Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards also back at the club in a new role for FSG, it feels very much like a slate that has been wiped completely clean.
Bit by bit, Liverpool have begun the process of reinventing themselves.
And it looks like another piece is set to be added to a puzzle that’s slowly being solved.

Some big personalities went out of the door for Liverpool last season.
Perhaps they never will be again.

In their place have come some very capable coaches with some interesting new ideas, though.
New goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte’s idea of training his ‘keepers with goggles, for example.
With all of the key positions at the club now filled, Liverpool look well placed to put Slot’s ideas fully into place on the pitch.

Fascinatingly, though, the Liverpool ECHO report that the new head coach is also close to adding a member of staff that Klopp did not bother with.
Jurgen was famously interested in doing whatever he could to give Liverpool a ‘marginal gain’ over whatever opposition they faced.
However, this never translated into the Reds hiring a nominated set-piece coach.
The ECHO claim that a ‘set-piece specialist’ is now ‘close’ to coming aboard.
With so many new coaches and new ideas being put to the Liverpool squad, it may be a little while before we see things pay off.
At any rate, Reds supporters are going to have to be a little patient and allow their new team to bed in.
For the moment though, the early signs are really good.
