Manchester United scout Andreas Herrmann will join VfB Stuttgart next month as part of a restructuring at the German club.
That’s according to BILD, who say a deal taking the 31-year-old from Old Trafford to Germany will be done next month.
The newspaper explains that Herrmann has been targeted by VfB Stuttgart’s new sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth, who wants to completely reorganise the scouting department at the club.
This has seen him carrying out radical changes in the staffing and Hermann is one of several new faces arriving at the club.
He’s been working with Manchester United ‘spotting the top talents’ to be secured for the future for the last ten years.
However, he had made it clear that he wanted to return to his homeland and thus VfB made their move and ‘secured a top man’ for their restructuring.
It’s a deal they’re genuinely excited about, with Wohlgemuth detailing his delight in comments to BILD.
“Andreas was responsible worldwide for the 17 to 23-year-olds category,” he said.
“He brings considerable know-how and a very special network with him to Stuttgart. He will make us better and enrich our scouting work.”
He’ll be getting his new man next month, with the deal to take him from Manchester United set to be completed in July and bring a decade at Old Trafford to an end.
