According to recent reports from Sky Sports, Liverpool FC is accelerating its search for a new sporting director, with three internal candidates currently employed by Fenway Sports Group.

The selection process for a successor to Liverpool FC's sporting director Richard Hughes is reportedly underway after Hughes informed Fenway Sports Group earlier this year that he was seeking new challenges. This follows the departure of Fenway Football's CEO, Michael Edwards.

Both parties agreed that he would remain in his current role through the summer transfer window, an arrangement deemed prudent given his previous work identifying key targets for the summer transfer window and his working relationship with the team's new head coach, Arne Slot.

Liverpool FC's current goal is to arrange interviews as soon as possible. Following Edwards' departure, Fenway President Mike Gordon has assumed greater responsibility for the club's day-to-day operations and is leading the recruitment process. The selected candidate will work within the football structure, and internal candidates may be promoted. However, Fenway has not ruled out hiring an external candidate.

The shortlist includes Fenway's technical director Julian Ward, Fenway's director of football development Pedro Marques, and assistant sporting director David Woodfine. The advantage of these candidates is that they are already familiar with the club's operations.
