Liverpool have confirmed Jorg Schmadtke as their new sporting director in place of the departing Julian Ward.
Schmadtke, a veteran of several similar roles in Germany, has been appointed on a short-term deal with the potential for it to become long term.
The length of the initial contract has not been disclosed, but is understood to extend beyond the forthcoming transfer window. He will officially begin his new role on Thursday.
