Per Mertesacker is set to take over as the managing director for sport at the German Football Federation (DFB) in January, replacing Andreas Rettig.
The change will occur on January 1, according to a report from broadcaster ntv/RTL/Sky released Friday. Rettig previously announced his departure effective December.
Mertesacker will assume the role of managing director for sport, overseeing sporting matters within the DFB. The move comes as Rettig steps down from his position after an unspecified period of service. No reason was given in the report for Rettig’s decision to leave or Mertesacker's appointment.
