Having billed last summer as a 'rebuild', this one is shaping up to be a far more seismic shift.
A compensation package worth up to $11.7m (£9.4m/€11m) has been agreed with Feyenoord for Arne Slot, who is set to step into Jürgen Klopp's shoes.
Slot, who shares similar tactics and personality traits with Klopp, is expected to assume different responsibilities from his predecessor.

According to The Times, he will be appointed as Liverpool's head coach, not manager.
This seemingly minor change in title carries significant implications.
Slot's primary focus will be managing the squad, with Hughes serving as his main point of contact.
The 'manager' role, as embodied by Klopp, typically involves influence over many, if not all, areas of the club.
Interestingly, it's claimed that all of the candidates Liverpool approached during the interview process adopt the title of 'head coach' rather than manager at their respective current clubs.
Edwards is being significantly empowered, along with his new sporting director Hughes, and a head coach rather than a 'manager' works better within that structure.
Of course, plenty of 'head coaches' have ultimately gone on to be frustrated about a lack of say in recruitment, and the technical name of the job is not a safeguard against those tensions.
Just like Klopp, it's likely that Slot would grow in influence the longer he remained at Liverpool.
