Liverpool Director of Scouting & Recruitment to exit after 12 years

Fallows had informed the club’s hierarchy of his desire to leave but “chose to delay his decision and remain in post to assist with the transition of the new football leadership team.” That leadership team, head by Fenway Sports Group Head of Football Michael Edwards, has now been in situ since the summer and Fallows will leave at the end of 2024.

“I have been very privileged to work for this incredible football club,” said Fallows. “The fantastic people here starting with the supporters make it so special – to have had the opportunity to work with so many talented players and colleagues past and present who are now friends is something I am very grateful for.

“The leadership here, from ownership, through to Michael [Edwards], Richard [Hughes], Arne [Slot], Billy [Hogan] and Alex [Inglethorpe], is world-class. I have no doubt they will continue to thrive. They are supported by great people across many departments who I will miss working with but will continue to stay close to.

“There are far too many to mention but I am especially grateful to Barry Hunter and all those within the recruitment department who have been a joy to work alongside. Leaving in the knowledge that I will be leaving this place in such great shape is something that means a lot to me.

“I look forward to supporting the team from a different perspective now but with the same passion for their success.”

Edwards added: “Dave has been a trusted colleague for over 10 years and a close friend for two decades. I respect his decision and wish him nothing but success with whatever he does next. He and his family will always be welcome at our club after the contribution he has made. We will miss him.”
