Florian Plettenberg has told Liverpool fans to “wait and see” as reports continue to link Sven Mislintat with the role of sporting director at Anfield.
Julian Ward leaves the FA Cup holders at the end of the season and the reliable Sky Sports reported yesterday that the German is now being considered by the Reds to succeed the Englishman.
Now, courtesy of his official Twitter account, Plettenberg has responded to a claim by Bild’s Christian Falk, who suggested that Mislintat will not succeed Ward in Merseyside and is not even in the running for the role.
“No worries. We trust our sources as always✌️And as reported: No negotiations so far, but he is on the list. Wait and see… ✔️”, the reporter tweeted.
The former Arsenal head scout worked alongside Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund between 2008 and 2015 and helped the Bundesliga side sign the likes of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Shinji Kagawa.

The fact that Mislintat has already worked alongside our German tactician is positive, but the fact that we are looking to recruit from the outside may also create some uncertainty for Reds fans.
Michael Edwards was extremely effective during his time as sporting director and Ward seemed to have the skills to continue our impressive transfer activity.
We’ll just have to listen to the very reliable Plettenberg and just ‘wait and see’ what happens in the coming months.
