West Ham have received positive news about the future of their technical director Tim Steidten as he makes significant changes behind the scenes. The club confirmed the appointment of Max Hahn as the new Head of Technical Recruitment and Analysis, signaling that Steidten is looking to form a strong team in his department.
This move comes as a setback for Liverpool, who had reportedly identified Steidten as a leading contender to become their new director of football. With the departure of Jorg Schmadtke, the Reds are on the hunt for a replacement, and Steidten was rumored to be at the top of their list.
Despite the interest from Liverpool, Steidten’s commitment to building his team at West Ham suggests that he is focused on making a long-term impact at the London club. Adding to this, the news of his brother Moritz joining as a scout further solidifies Steidten’s ties to West Ham. The decision to expand his team and bring in new talent shows that Steidten is investing in the club’s future, putting to rest any speculations about a potential move to Liverpool.
In addition to Hahn’s appointment, there have also been internal promotions within West Ham’s recruitment and analysis department. Dylan Curnell has been elevated to the role of First Team Recruitment Analyst, highlighting the club’s commitment to nurturing talent from within.
Overall, these developments indicate that Steidten is setting down roots at West Ham and is focused on strengthening the club’s recruitment and analysis capabilities. With Steidten reaffirming his commitment to West Ham, it appears that Liverpool will need to look elsewhere in their search for a new director of football.
