LIVERPOOL
OFFICIAL. This is the new Liverpool sporting director

Richard Hughes will shortly be appointed as Liverpool Football Club’s new Sporting Director, completing their restructured football team. This announcement comes soon after the Fenway Sports Group’s successful attempt to get analytics guru Michael Edwards back to a more senior position within the company.
Hughes’ departure from his position as Sporting Director at Bournemouth signifies Edwards’ first hire in his expanded role within the team’s administration. Hughes’ arrival gives Liverpool’s football operations more structure and clarity as the team gets ready for life after Klopp.

Examining Hughes’ past gives us a better understanding of the depth of experience he brings to the position. Hughes played football professionally and was a fixture on the fields of English teams like Portsmouth and Bournemouth. He made over 100 appearances in the Premier League.
Although Hughes isn’t regarded as a particularly good player, his long career in the game has given him a wealth of knowledge about player relationships and the nuances of professional football. Because of his first-hand knowledge and his noteworthy FA Cup victory with Portsmouth, he has a special viewpoint that both players and club staff may benefit from.
Hughes has carved out a prestigious career path after his playing days, making a smooth transition into football administration and management. His time as Bournemouth’s Sporting Director demonstrated his skill at managing player recruiting and strategic decision-making.
