Sky Germany have confirmed this afternoon that Sven Mislintat has said yes to joining Fortuna Düsseldorf.
The second-division club have settled Mislintat as the successor to Klaus Allofs, as BILD first reported today.
Mislintat is set to succeed Allofs as sporting director, with Allofs still officially in office but on the verge of departure.
In recent months, Mislintat voiced his hunger to return to football and face new challenges during an interview with Sky.
Mislintat worked for Borussia Dortmund as chief scout from 2006 to 2017 and performed the same role at Arsenal from 2017 to 2019.
From 2019 to 2022, he was sporting director at VfB Stuttgart, and director of football at Ajax in 2023.
He made his return to BVB as technical director in 2024, but several disagreements saw him get the chop in February 2025.
