It’s a time of change at Anfield and Mohamed Salah has decided to make a big one too by chopping off his trademark afro.
Jurgen Klopp‘s unforgettable nine-year tenure has come to an end with the German making way for incoming manager Arne Slot.
Salah was with Klopp for seven of those years, becoming one of the best players in the world under his guidance.
And he has marked the beginning of a new era by adopting a new look and shaving off his trademark afro.
Salah and his Liverpool team-mates are on their holidays and no vacation post this summer is likely to shock Reds fans more than Salah’s on Friday.

The post had amassed over 300,000 likes in one hour with thousands of comments related to the haircut.
