Richard Hughes’ time as Liverpool sporting director has come to an end, with the club confirming his departure following the completion of his final transfer window.
Hughes played a key role in Liverpool’s recruitment and squad planning during his spell at Anfield, working closely with the club’s football leadership and helping oversee transfer decisions.
His next challenge will come in Saudi Arabia, where he is expected to take charge of the sporting side of Al Hilal. The move represents a major change for Hughes, taking him from one of England’s biggest clubs to one of the leading forces in Saudi football.
Liverpool will now begin restructuring their sporting-management setup following Hughes’ exit.
From Liverpool to Al Hilal — a new chapter begins for Richard Hughes. 👋🏼🔵⚪️🇸🇦
