Anfield Leadership Shift: Salah Named New Vice-Captain Alongside Van Dijk

Liverpool have confirmed a key change in their leadership group, with Mohamed Salah officially named as the club’s new vice-captain.

The Egyptian icon will now serve as second-in-command to captain Virgil van Dijk, forming a powerful leadership duo that blends experience, influence, and inspiration both on and off the pitch.

Salah’s appointment is seen as recognition of his status as a senior figure in the squad, and a reward for his professionalism and impact since joining the Reds in 2017.

With Van Dijk and Salah at the helm, Liverpool’s dressing room looks set to be in strong, steady hands.
