Everton is set to appoint Nick Cox, Manchester United's academy director, as their new technical director. Following the departure of Kevin Thelwell, the club opted for a technical director over a traditional director of football. Cox, recognized for his leadership in United's academy and recent success in developing young players, is seen as an ideal candidate. In addition to Cox, Everton is enhancing its football structure by bringing in Nick Hammond and Chris Howarth, with further recruitment plans underway.
The club engaged an external recruitment firm to identify candidates, with Cox appearing to be the standout.
Cox joined United in 2016, overseeing the academy when they won the FA Youth Cup in 2022, and is credited with aiding the development of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.
It is anticipated that Cox will stay at United for the coming months to help with the transition period.
The chief executive, Angus Kinnear, disposed of the director of football position when Kevin Thelwell left, preferring a technical director.
