Al Hilal Nears Resolution of Richard Hughes File

Press reports have revealed new developments within Al-Hilal Club regarding the formation of the sports administration, as part of the club's plan to utilize global expertise in the upcoming phase.

The Englishman Simon Charles Francis has already started his duties within the Al Hilal organization, according to journalist Sasha Tavolieri on his account on the "X" platform.

Francis's move comes as part of the club's new administrative structure, where he is expected to work alongside the Scottish Richard Hughes, who is a candidate for the position of sporting director.

Simon Francis is expected to become one of Hughes' key assistants at Al Hilal, especially given the professional relationship and great trust that exists between the two.

Francis will fully join the Al Hilal project after the end of the current summer transfer window with the English club Liverpool, in preparation for his new role.

Hughes is currently managing the summer transfer files for both Al Hilal and Liverpool, leveraging his extensive experience in the transfer market.

Al Hilal aims through these steps to build a strong sports system based on European expertise and to enhance competition locally and continentally in the coming seasons.
