After a “shaky” season, Liverpool FC began taking the necessary steps to turn the table around and return the team to compete for the English Premier League next season.
According to English sources, Liverpool is preparing to appoint a new German sports director, who has a good relationship with the current coach, Jürgen Klopp.
This manager is Jörg Schmatke, the godfather of sports management in Germany, over the past two decades, as he supervised clubs such as Hamburg, Cologne and Wolfsburg.
The “Reds” are seeking to take this step as soon as possible, to fill the void left by the former sports director, Michael Edward, who left last year.
Schmatke will “engineer” the transfer market for Liverpool this summer, in cooperation with Klopp, according to English sources.
Schmatke is known for his rigor and ruthlessness in management, which is the reputation he gained in Germany, but he emphasized that relationships differ within work, from outside it, where a person can be more emotional.
Schmattke recalls his successes with German clubs, as he led Cologne and Hanover to qualify for the Europa League, and led Wolfsburg to qualify for the Champions League.
Schmatke won the “Best Manager in Germany” award in 2011 and 2017.
