The main story for a while now has been that Jürgen Klopp will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
As a result, most of the conjecture has focused on who will take over as manager after Klopp leaves.
it is expected that Jörg Schmadtke, Klopp’s season stand-in and Klopp is splitting ways because the choice of a new coach will be crucial.
Liverpool Team News states many have seen Tim Steidten of West Ham as a likely choice among the linked names on that front.
“I’ve heard that I am supposed to be on the list at Liverpool,” said the 44-year-old German who had a hand in appointing Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen before joining West Ham. “It is one of the biggest clubs in the world, so it’s an honour.
“But so far nobody from LFC has contacted me yet. I generally feel very comfortable at West Ham. We signed the right players in the last transfer windows. The squad is strong, so we can achieve our goals. What happens to the future, we will see.”
The next sporting director, whoever that person ends up being will be the one in charge of hiring the team’s next manager, according to discussions about Liverpool taking their time in making the appointment.
