Everton to take Nick Cox from Manchester United as technical director
United’s director of academy with club since 2016
Part of new structure put in place by Friedkin Group
Everton are poised to appoint Manchester United’s director of academy, Nick Cox, as their technical director. Cox will be part of the new football structure put in place by the Friedkin Group.
The chief executive, Angus Kinnear, disposed of the director of football position when Kevin Thelwell left, preferring a technical director who will take on some of the responsibilities of the previous role. The club engaged an external recruitment firm to identify candidates, with Cox appearing to be the standout.
