Liverpool's departing sporting director Julian Ward has reportedly been identified as a candidate for one of the top jobs in Dutch football.
Ward is set to leave his post at Anfield at the end of the season, but until now there has been no indication of where he could land next. But according to the Netherlands paper De Telegraaf, he is a 'strong candidate' to become the new technical director at renowned Amsterdam club Ajax.
Liverpool made a surprise announcement in November when it emerged that Ward, who has been with the Reds for over 10 years in various roles, would be leaving the club altogether next summer, despite only replacing Michael Edwards as sporting director at the end of last season.
