‘I’m sure’: Fabrizio Romano makes new claim about Liverpool’s next Sporting Director
During an appearance on the House of Champions Podcast, Fabrizio Romano discussed the function of Sporting Director at Liverpool.
The news that Julian Ward will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the current season sent tremors through the footballing community this week when it was announced that he would be doing so.
The news of Ward’s departure came as a bit of a surprise given that he had just recently taken over the role of general manager from Michael Edwards. As a result, the future of Liverpool’s recruitment strategy is currently uncertain.
Both The Telegraph and The Guardian report that the Sporting Director post at Liverpool may be scrapped altogether. According to The Telegraph, the Reds are mulling over the possibility of revising their current model.
However, according to Romano, Liverpool is going to keep the Sporting Director post, and he claims that the club is looking for someone who will work on a long-term project at the club alongside Jurgen Klopp.
Romano thinks that Liverpool will want someone who will work on the project alongside Klopp.
Romano discussed the future ambitions for Liverpool.
“It’s surprising. Honestly with Liverpool it is surprising because Julian Ward was the man prepared to change the Liverpool project after the era of Michael Edwards, but now he’s going to step down at the end of the season. It’s a big change for Liverpool and I’m sure that they want to make sure their next director is someone who will work on a long-term project together with Jurgen Klopp. Something is definitely changing for Liverpool,” Romano said.
