He will remain in football after his Premier League departure with a leading role at the 2.Bundesliga club.

And he even had a hand in helping them appoint sporting director Thomas Eichin in the summer.

Ayre initially joined Liverpool as commercial chief during the ill-fated Tom Hicks and George Gillett reign.

He was promoted two years ago by current owners Fenway Sports Group.

FSG have yet to announce a replacement for the 53-year-old when he leaves in five months.
