Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes’ potential move from Anfield to Saudi Arabia has been talked up by former Everton CEO Keith Wyness. Speaking to Football Insider, Wyness explained why he is such a sough-after figure and why he could seal a move there in the summer: “Well, I’ve been monitoring Saudi football.
“They didn’t really understand football. Gradually, their football intelligence and knowledge has progressed, and now they’re getting to understand the role of the strategic sports director like a Richard Hughes and the importance, and so they’ve gone for probably one of the best there is.
“Although you would argue that Liverpool’s performance this season has not been the best, there could be other reasons for that, but certainly he’s well respected within the game.” Will Liverpool fans be sad to see Richard Hughes leave? Hughes was a popular figure at Liverpool to begin with, not least because the Reds won the Premier League title in he and Arne Slot’s first season at the club.
