Director of Football Comolli quits Reds

LIVERPOOL'S Director of Football Damien Comolli left by mutual consent yesterday after a series of expensive signings at the faltering English Premier League club failed to shine.

The most notable flop has been 35 million pound (US$55.67 million) striker Andy Carroll, who joined from Newcastle United as a replacement for Fernando Torres in January 2011. Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson have also flattered to deceive. Comolli, a former scout for Arsenal who later became Director of Football at Tottenham Hotspur, joined Liverpool in November 2010 to oversee player recruitment. "I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to work at Liverpool and am happy to move on from the club and back to France for family reasons," Comolli said in a statement.
