The CEO of Liverpool FC has announced he is to step down just weeks after the club become Premier League champions.
Peter Moore will leave the club at the end of August after a three-year contract overseeing the club's off-pitch business operations came to an end.
Replacing Mr Moore will be current managing director Billy Hogan, who will take up the role in September.
Earlier this month, LFC lifted the Premier League title for the first time following a 30-year wait, and adding to their Champions League title won last summer.
Mr Moore said: “I’ve loved every minute of the job here in Liverpool and feel privileged to have moved the club forward on its civic, commercial and community operations during the last three years.
"It’s been an incredible journey and I’d like to pay tribute to John, Tom and Mike for giving me the opportunity to lead the business operations at Liverpool.
“I’ve had the great pleasure of working with an exceptionally talented senior leadership team; a group of committed colleagues who work tirelessly for the club; former players; business, community and civic partners and sponsors; incredible supporters around the world and so many other people I’ve met through my role as CEO.
"I’m indebted to so many people I’ve met on this fantastic journey at Liverpool."
