Michael Edwards could be set for an immediate return to football scouting when he leaves his role as sporting director at Liverpool at the end of the season.
The 42-year-old first joined the Reds in November 2011 and has played a key role in the club's successful recruitment in recent seasons. However, Edwards has confirmed he will depart Liverpool when his contract runs out this summer as he gets set to embark on a new challenge.
According to French outlet Nice Matin, Ligue 1 side Nice are looking to replace outgoing sporting director Julien Fournier with Edwards. Sir Jim Ratcliffe would reportedly like to bring Edwards to the club as they look to push towards the top of the table within the next couple of seasons.
