Swansea City are set to appoint Ben Stevens as their new sporting director. This move comes as the club has been searching for a sporting director since Richard Montague left last September. Stevens has been with Crystal Palace since 2024, serving as their assistant sporting director and previously as head of performance and recruitment analysis for a decade. His experience at Palace, particularly under former sporting director Dougie Freedman, positions him well for this new role at Swansea City. The club's management has faced challenges in recent months, with the departures of both Montague and former head of recruitment Adam Worth. Stevens's appointment is expected to bring a fresh perspective and continuity to the club's recruitment and performance strategies. The role he will undertake is likely to mirror the responsibilities previously held by Montague, focusing on enhancing the club's competitive edge in the Championship.
