The Sporting Director Dilemma: What’s Going On at Liverpool?

Liverpool are searching for a new sporting director following Richard Hughes’ departure, and the next appointment could be one of the most important decisions the club makes behind the scenes.

On today’s Newsround, Dave Davis looks at the names being discussed, including Pedro Marquez, Julian Ward and David Woodfine, while also considering whether Liverpool should move away from internal appointments and target somebody from outside the current FSG structure.

There is also discussion around Mike Gordon’s role in the search, the potential influence of Amit Bhatia and the 1892 group, and why Liverpool need greater stability after a remarkable turnover of sporting directors in recent years.

Plus, Dave looks ahead to Atletico Madrid at Anfield, with open training and the Champions League press conference set to provide more clues over team news, including the possible return of Joe Gomez.
