Michael Edwards was recently appointed by Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group as chief executive of football.

Edwards and Hughes have a professional and personal relationship spanning more than 20 years, having previously worked together during Hughes’s playing career at Portsmouth.

“I am incredibly proud to be offered this opportunity,” said Hughes, 44. “Liverpool FC is a unique club and I’m grateful to be given a chance to serve it in this capacity.

“People rightly talk about the rich history this organisation can boast, but it is the present and future which really excites me. Jurgen Klopp is leading an outstanding team and squad and alongside that the commitment to young players and their pathway to the first team is also outstanding.”
