Swansea City are set to appoint Ben Stevens as their new sporting director.
Stevens has been assistant sporting director at Crystal Palace since 2024, having previously spent a decade as the Premier League club’s head of performance and recruitment analysis.
He worked under Palace’s former sporting director Dougie Freedman and filled in for the ex-Scotland striker when he left to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Diriyah last year.
Swansea have been looking for a sporting director since director of football Richard Montague left last September, just seven months after he joined the Championship club.
Former head of recruitment and analytics Adam Worth then departed in April this year.
Although Stevens will have a different title, the role is likely to be similar to the one previously filled by Montague.
