The Liverpool revelation is made as part of a big Simone Inzaghi interview
Richard Hughes joined Liverpool in 2024 after success at Bournemouth. He is now nearing an exit from the Reds, according to big claims in Italy.
Hughes’ time at the South Coast club was impressive, and he played a role in their promotion back to the Premier League. He was vital to the signings of Nathan Ake, Dominic Solanke and Milos Kerkez.
There were question marks around Liverpool when they were undergoing a transition after Jurgen Klopp’s exit, but the Premier League title still arrived last season.
Things haven’t gone to plan in the ongoing campaign, and Hughes has attracted criticism. Since then, Al Hilal has emerged as a destination for the 46-year-old.
Confidence about move
Gazzetta dello Sport, who have done a published a major interview with Al-Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi today, provide information about Hughes’ future. It would be assumed that source of that is the ex-Inter Milan manager himself, given the interview.
Gazzetta report the Saudi club are ‘about to announce’ the Liverpool sporting director’s arrival. He will team up with Inzaghi, and is expected to meet the manager soon.
Familiar environment for Hughes
The Saudi club are undergoing a transition. They didn’t win the title last season, which makes next season very important.
Hughes faced a transition period at Liverpool too, having done the job quite well at Bournemouth. Specifically at the South Coast club, he helped them engineer a complete rebuild and that is what Al-Hilal need.
