Liverpool will be forced to undergo a major overhaul at the end of the season after it emerged that another crucial backroom staff member had resigned.
The Reds were rocked earlier this month by the news that owners Fenway Sports Group were attempting to sell the club. FSG have owned Liverpool since October 2010 and their efforts to cash in and move on have now been followed by other major movements behind the scenes at the club.
On Thursday it emerged that sporting director Julian Ward would step down from his role at the end of the 2022/23 season – his first since taking over from Michael Edwards. Ward has progressed through the ranks at Liverpool over the past 10 years and his departure comes as a considerable blow to the club.
