Journalist: Liverpool Confirms Hughes Never Worked for Al Hilal Before His Departure

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Richard Hughes decided to leave Liverpool earlier this year and informed the club's owners that he wished to pursue a new challenge at Al Hilal after the summer transfer window closed.

Liverpool has known for some time that Hughes would depart in September this year, but all parties agreed to continue working together until the end of the summer transfer window. The club believes Hughes played a crucial role in helping new head coach Iraola integrate into the team and in securing the signing of Bradley Barcola.

It should be noted that while Hughes was still Liverpool's sporting director, he never applied to work for Al Hilal, nor did Liverpool ever grant him permission to do so. Liverpool has confirmed that it is confident Hughes did not undertake any work related to Al Hilal this summer.

Currently, the search for Liverpool's new sporting director has already begun, with Fenway Sports Group President Mike Gordon overseeing the process.

Following Hughes's departure, no other changes will occur in Liverpool's existing football management structure. Fenway Sports Group Technical Director Julian Ward, Football Development Director Pedro Marques, Liverpool Assistant Sporting Director David Woodfine, Head of Scouting Barry Hunter, and the senior management team at the AXA Training Centre will all remain in their regular roles and report to Mike Gordon.
