Liverpool have first ever sporting director:
The Reds have not traditionally sported a sporting director to their team but they have now elevated Head of Technical Operations Michael Edwards to the role of sporting director.
Edwards – who joined Liverpool in November 2011 from Tottenham on the recommendation of Damien Comolli – will be responsible for negotiating the financial side of transfers and is expected to replace Ian Ayre who is about to step down. (Daily Mail)
