Liverpool are reportedly close to appointing Jorg Schmadtke as their new sporting director. The 59-year-old, who is currently unemployed after his spell at Wolfsburg ended in January, is said to be the “shock front-runner” for the role, which opened up in November when Julian Ward resigned. Talks with Schmadtke have “accelerated” in recent days, and it is believed that the club are set to appoint him. Schmadtke is known for recruitment that gets value for the budgets he is assigned, and is reportedly an “ally of Klopp”, suggesting he would be able to work closely alongside the Liverpool manager. Before switching to backroom roles, Schmadtke was a goalkeeper who spent most of his career with Fortuna Dusseldorf and SC Freiburg in his native Germany. He has held similar sporting director roles with Alemannia Aachen, Hannover 96 and FC Koln, and spent four-and-a-half years with Wolfsburg. Liverpool hope to have their new appointment through the door as soon as possible, with plans already in motion for the summer transfer window.
