Mainz ‘new sports director is no longer a football expert for the pay TV channel Sky. A company spokesman t-online confirmed this on request.

“After taking office as sports director of Mainz 05, Martin Schmidt will no longer work as an expert for Sky with immediate effect. We thank him for the cooperation over the past months and wish him all the best in his new role”, Sky told t-online .
