Everton to take Nick Cox from Manchester United as technical director
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. Advertisement 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, who has just completed his Pro Licence coaching course, will stay at United for the coming months to help with the transition period. As part of the changes Everton have also brought in Nick Hammond from Leeds as head of trading and Chris Howarth as head of strategy, and James Smith is poised to return from Manchester City in a recruitment role.
