Jorg Schmadtke gets appointed as sporting director of Liverpool
Posted : 30 May 2023
Following their failure to qualify for the Champions League this season, Liverpool announced on Tuesday that Jorg Schmadtke has been named the club's new sports director.
Before departing Wolfsburg at the start of the year, Schmadtke worked there for more than four years in the same capacity. Similar posts were held by him at Cologne, Hannover, and Alemannia Aachen.
Julian Ward, who has served in the post for the past year and has spent more than a decade at Anfield, will be replaced by Schmadtke when he starts in his new job at Liverpool on July 1.
"Jorg will work with our football operations department as it continues to provide support for Jurgen Klopp, in keeping with our ongoing endeavour to keep growing and developing the club in all areas," Mike Gordon, the president of Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, said in a statement.
"We must also bid a fond farewell to Julian Ward, who has served us with unstinting diligence, fortitude and energy in a number of roles."
Liverpool placed fifth in the Premier League and, for the first time since 2016–17, missed qualifying for the Champions League.
