Former Arsenal head of recruitment Sven Mislintat is on the cusp of becoming the next sporting director at VfB Stuttgart.

The German has been out of work since he left Arsenal in February, after spending just more than a year at the Emirates Stadium as their head of recruitment.




There are suggestions major disagreements behind the scenes led to Mislintat walking out of the job and he is keen to return to football.

The German has been linked with sporting director jobs at various Bundesliga clubs, but it has been claimed that he is close to becoming the chief deal-maker at a top club.
 


According to German magazine Kicker, Stuttgart are on the verge of appointing Mislintat as their sporting director.

The club have been in talks with him over the role and his move to Stuttgart is imminent.
