The son of new Liverpool sporting director Jorg Schmadtke has taken up a new role at Borussia Monchengladbach.
From July 1, Nils Schmadtke will become the new sporting director license at Monchengladbach, thus leaving his position as chief scout at Bundesliga rivals VfL Wolfsburg.
Reports in Germany suggest the 34-year-old will work closely with the club's managing director of sport, Roland Virkus. And like his father on Merseyside, he is expected to have a busy summer, as Die Fohlen prepare for life under a new manager following the dismissal of former Norwich City boss Daniel Farke.
