Premier League giants Liverpool will reassess their sporting structure when the transfer window closes.
Per the Liverpool Echo, the Reds will review their agreement with sporting director Jorg Schmadtke.
The 59-year-old came out of retirement to work on a short term basis with manager Jurgen Klopp.
He replaced Julian Ward, who abruptly resigned from the role before last season ended.
"A three-month contract? That's not true," Schmadtke said to Welt am Sontagg earlier this month of his Liverpool agreement. "We agreed on a year of cooperation and agreed to see what would happen after three months. We sit down together, look each other in the eye and decide how to proceed. Both sides are so sovereign and serious that the question is then answered: Does it still make sense or not? It could be that we shake hands and part.
"I'm thrilled with this club, fascinated by the atmosphere there. It's a big club, but it exudes zero arrogance. I observe a great sense of togetherness, an optimal sense of togetherness, which is documented, for example, in the fact that in the canteen the professionals sit next to the secretaries and employees and the managers of the individual sections at the table of the young players. There is not such a strict separation as in Germany. And further [to that] top people work there at all levels who communicate well with each other. I enjoy working for this company.
"It is well known that things are a little different in England than in Germany. The coach, who is called the manager here, is the decision-maker and determiner. So Jurgen Klopp is the pacesetter in Liverpool. In principle, I am a service provider, the assistant for Jurgen and the one who is responsible for the implementation of ideas and activities."
