Chelsea in Talks to Appoint Dave Fallows

News summary

Chelsea are in talks to appoint former Liverpool director of scouting and recruitment Dave Fallows to a senior sporting leadership role at Stamford Bridge after he left Anfield in October 2024. Fallows spent 12 years at Liverpool and is credited with identifying signings including Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson that helped deliver the 2019 Champions League, 2020 Premier League and other trophies. He is expected to oversee scouting, player development and youth pathways, and would work alongside sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart and recruitment co-directors Joe Shields and Sam Jewell. The move is viewed as reinforcing Todd Boehly’s youth-focused, data-driven recruitment project at Chelsea following a period of heavy spending and managerial turnover. Liverpool described Fallows’s contribution as "fundamental" when he departed, and multiple outlets say discussions are at an advanced stage.
