Who will be new Liverpool sporting director - and what issues do they face?
The possible candidates to succeed Richard Hughes - plus the numerous tasks facing Liverpool's next sporting director.
Richard Hughes has been appointed as the sporting director of Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, just days after leaving his role at Liverpool in the English Premier League. The move was finalized by the club's board, with the aim of improving technical work, recruitment and scouting, and overall football sector integration. Hughes previously oversaw Liverpool's appointment of head coach Arne Slot after Jurgen Klopp's departure, leading the team to win the Premier League the following season.
Al-Hilal, Saudi Arabia's most successful team with 21 league titles and four Asian Championships, has recently signed Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal and Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa.
