Surprising snub as Salah reveals favourite manager

Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian King and Liverpool's talismanic forward, has consistently been a subject of fascination, not just for his incredible goal-scoring prowess but also for his often-private demeanor. Yet, a recent query regarding the most influential coach of his decorated career prompted a response that sent ripples of surprise through the footballing world, largely sidestepping the man most would have instinctively named. When pressed on the manager who left the most profound mark on him, Salah bypassed the universally acclaimed Jürgen Klopp, instead pointing to Luciano Spalletti, his former boss at AS Roma.
