Jurgen Klopp says Michael Edwards' return to Liverpool is "top news" but does not affect his own decision to leave at the end of the season.
Edwards, 44, was appointed Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group's chief executive of football on Tuesday.
He previously spent 11 years at Liverpool, including six years as sporting director, before leaving the club in the summer of 2022.
"It is the best club in the world and I am still leaving," Klopp said.
"I just want this club to do as well as possible with the best people in charge and Michael is a top choice.
