Former Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre has been hired for the same role with Major League Soccer’s expansion franchise in Nashville. The 55-year-old became Liverpool’s managing director in March 2011 and was promoted to CEO in May 2014. Ayre left Liverpool in February 2017. Nashville was awarded a team by MLS last December. Lead owner John Ingram says they should hear a final decision within weeks on whether it’s 2019 or 2020. Nashville is hoping for 2020.
