After more than a decade of work behind the scenes in Merseyside, Edwards will quit the club at the end of the season. He became technical director after joining the club in 2011 as head of performance and analysis. But it was as Liverpool’s first sports director, the typically low-key analyst cemented his reputation among the club’s worldwide following.
Edwards was essential in bringing together the majority of Jurgen Klopp’s current roster. As well as ensuring that Liverpool was receiving fair pay for players who were going out of Anfield.
Liverpool is one of the forerunners in data analysis in football. A whole research department dedicated to thorough assessments of potential transfer targets brought in during Edwards’ tenure.
Ward was named assistant sports director in December 2020. And has taken a more hands-on approach this season. He prepares to take over as head coach when his mentor steps down next month.
CEO Hogan, who replaced Peter Moore in the summer of 2020, expects the club to continue to thrive in terms of recruitment under Ward.
