Michael Edwards, who has returned to Liverpool in a blitz, will not only run Liverpool, but will also be involved in finding a new club as CEO of the football division of Fenway Sports Group.
With the retirement of Jurgen Klopp, his scope of responsibility includes creating a new era, and he is on the lookout for a new leader who can lead the club in the right direction during the transition period. In addition, they were looking for a new sporting director with whom to negotiate.
However, a decision on the sporting director will be reached soon. Fabrizio Romano reports that an agreement has been reached with the current Bournemouth technical director Richard Hughes, who is a close friend of Edwards, and that an official announcement will be made soon by the club.
“After Michael Edwards’ return, Liverpool are set to announce the appointment of Richard Hughes in the next days.”
“It’s all agreed with Hughes since last week as he’s gonna leave Bournemouth.”
