Swansea City Set to Appoint Ben Stevens as Sporting Director
Swansea City concluded the 2025-26 Championship season in 11th place.
The club is preparing to name Ben Stevens as their new sporting director.
Stevens has served as assistant sporting director at Crystal Palace since 2024. Prior to this, he spent ten years as the Premier League club's head of performance and recruitment analysis.
He worked under Palace's former sporting director Dougie Freedman and took over Freedman's responsibilities when Freedman departed to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Diriyah last year.
Swansea have been searching for a sporting director since Richard Montague, the director of football, left in September last year, only seven months after joining the Championship club.
Following Montague's departure, former head of recruitment and analytics Adam Worth also left the club in April 2026.
Although Stevens will hold a different title, his role is expected to be similar to the one previously held by Montague.
