However, the Dutch manager has quickly made a positive impression at Anfield. Liverpool currently leads the Premier League, boasting seven wins from eight matches, and they also remain unbeaten in the Champions League after their latest fixture.
Team morale is undoubtedly high after such a strong beginning to the season, and this week, Curtis Jones provided some insights into life at the AXA Training Centre.
The 23-year-old, who has been one of Liverpool’s standout players this season, shared details about the AXA Centre’s coffee club and how Salah has contributed to keeping discussions lively.
Speaking about the installation of a new coffee bar at the training ground, he said: “That’s the new place where everyone’s just chilling. We’ve made like a little group now. You’re always either going to see me, Dom [Szoboszlai], Kostas [Tsimikas] and Mo, that’s our little four.
“We’ve now got this little thing where we’re not allowed on our phones when we’re there having coffee. It’s Mo who’s brought in the rule.
“If we’re inside there and I’m on the phone, Mo will tell Dom ‘will you text him and tell him that we’re here and we want to have a conversation with him’. In other words, get off your phone! Why are you always on your phone?”
Jones refers to Salah’s gesture as a “small thing,” yet it highlights his leadership qualities within the team.
Salah’s contract with Liverpool is scheduled to end after the 2024/25 season.
According to Football Insider, the Egyptian forward is seeking a deal that would extend his stay at the Merseyside club until the summer of 2027.
