Liverpool cult hero Erik Meijer reckons Jurgen Klopp and Jorg Schmadtke will be a match made in footballing heaven - should the pair link up at Anfield.
As reported, Liverpool have earmarked Schmadtke as a surprise front-runner to become their new sporting director. The Reds have been on the look out for a replacement for Julian Ward as he prepares to stand aside only 12 months after succeeding Michael Edwards in the position.
Schmadtke is a former goalkeeper who is well-known for behind-the-scenes work in Germany and most recently Wolfsburg in that respect. Incidentally, he spent part of his playing career alongside Meijer, who has shed light on what to expect from the 59-year-old if he's eventually appointed.
