Bournemouth’s first-team technical director Richard Hughes will leave the club at the end of the season concluding his long association with the team. Hughes who joined Bournemouth in 1998 played a key role in recruitment and backroom operations.
Speculation links him with potential roles at Liverpool, Roma and Newcastle. The connection with Eddie Howe especially if Howe takes the helm at Newcastle suggests a possible reunion. Simon Francis appointed as Hughes’ assistant appears to be part of succession planning at Bournemouth.
Owner Bill Foley credited Hughes and Francis with the successful appointment of manager Andoni Iraola. Francis having overcome adversity in his playing career signifies a continued journey for both him and Bournemouth.
