Liverpool will be in need of a new sporting director next summer - and one of the potential candidates already has a connection with the club.
Reports on Wednesday emerged that Sven Mislintat is interested in taking on the role at Anfield. The Reds will no doubt already be searching for a possible replacement for Ward, who will depart after just one year in the job.
Mislintat has worked with Jurgen Klopp in the past, having spent a decade as a scout at Borussia Dortmund. The 50-year-old has since had a two-year spell as head of scouting at Arsenal, before he left in 2019.
