Liverpool co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks have confirmed that Christian Purslow has been appointed as the club's new managing director.
Purslow will assume the role until a new chief executive is found to replace the outgoing Rick Parry. He is then expected to continue as a board director.
A statement on the club's official website reads, "As managing director, Purslow will represent the owners and oversee all financial and operational aspects of the Club, working with [manager] Rafa Benitez on player transfers and with the Club's Group Chief Financial Officer, Philip Nash and Commercial Director, Ian Ayre on Club and commercial management."
George Gillett remarked, "Tom and I felt that it was important to put a highly experienced and respected executive in place to run the club and support the senior team and the manager.
"There's a lot to get done over the summer to build on the great season we just had and Christian will be a valuable addition to the team."
Tom Hicks stated, "Christian has been a great supporter of the club for many years and he's already built up good relationships at Anfield.
"His strategic and commercial acumen will be a real asset and we're delighted that he has made a long term commitment to the club."
