Liverpool Sporting Director Hughes Leaves Role
- On Saturday, Liverpool confirmed that sporting director Richard Hughes has stepped down after just over two years in the role, following the conclusion of the summer transfer window.

- During his tenure, Hughes oversaw around £670m in total transfer spending, including the arrivals of Bradley Barcola for £117m and Alexander Isak for a British record £125m.
- Fenway Sports Group President Mike Gordon praised Hughes' leadership during a critical period, stating the club has begun its search for a successor to fill the role.
- Senior staff including Julian Ward, Pedro Marques, David Woodfine, and Barry Hunter will cover Hughes' duties under Gordon's oversight, supporting head coach Arne Slot during the transition.
