Out of Wolfsburg in the premier league!
The former BundesligaManager Jörg Schmadtke (59) will be transfer boss at Liverpool FC and will be officially presented on Friday. Negotiations between the club and the ex-manager have been going on for weeks.
Incidentally, Schmadtke and Klopp have known each other for a long time and are on friendly terms.
Schmadtke, so it reports Wolfsburg General Newspaperhave signed a contract with the Premier League club (currently number 5), is scheduled to start at Anfield on June 1st.
Schmadtke becomes Klopp’s new transfer boss!
After coach Jürgen Klopp (55/since 2015 in Liverppol), a German is now joining the “Reds”.
Schmadtke is said to be there as a consultant “with all the powers” in the coming transfer phase in the summer and to work closely with long-standing chief scouts Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter.
Will he move to Liverpool? 96 goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler
Perhaps Schmadtke will bring the next German to Liverpool in Ron-Robert Zieler (34/Hannover 96). The rumors about the Premier League club’s interest in the goalkeeper persist and first appeared a year ago.
However, a transfer of Zielers would not necessarily fit into Schmadtke’s profile, which usually has an eye on talent, brings them and makes them big.
Klopp on Schmadtke rumors “If he comes, it won’t be because of me”
According to the report, Schmadtke will initially work in Liverpool for three months. A long-term commitment would then be discussed.
It will be exciting to see how Jürgen Klopp’s verdict on his transfer advisor will be. Schmadtke has often rubbed shoulders with his coaches, falling out with Oliver Glasner and Bruno Labbadia in Wolfsburg. So beware, Kloppo…
Incidentally, Liverpool will continue to look for a new sporting director while Schmadtke is working. Michael Edwards announced his resignation in 2022, his successor Julian Ward was unsuccessful. Since then, the post has been vacant for the Reds.
Let’s see if Schmadtke can establish himself permanently at the great Liverpool FC!
