Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes is departing after just 18 months, heading to Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal. He played a pivotal role in bringing in Arne Slot — who led Liverpool to their 20th Premier League title in his first season — and oversaw blockbuster signings like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz. But with Slot’s exit following a disappointing fifth-place finish last season, Hughes’ tenure ends amid another wave of change at Anfield. His departure marks the club’s fifth sporting director since 2022, following Michael Edwards’ resignation and a major ownership shift involving Jeff Bezos. Though brief, Hughes’ impact on Liverpool’s recent strategy and player recruitment will be closely watched as he moves to the Middle East.
