Jörg Schmadtke in an interview about his time at Liverpool FC

This year, Jörg Schmadtke made up for what he had already planned to do after stepping down as sports director at VfL Wolfsburg in January 2023: a trip around the world. In the video conversation, Schmadtke, 60, says that he recently traveled through Rwanda, South Africa and Norway with his wife. The new impressions he gained were “very inspiring,” says the experienced Bundesliga manager.
