Dan Ashworth 'will be revealed in a new role with the FA' that was brutally rejected by Manchester United at the end of last year.
Manchester United Pocherde Pochworth from Newcastle last February, but was forced to wait for the sports director to finish his garden leave before he came to the team at Old Trafford.
But months later he was dismissed from his position and Ratcliffe later admitted that it was a mistake to hire him, and paid £ 4.1 million for the five months in the club including his dismissal package.
In a wide interview with Gary Neville, he said: 'I agree that the decisions of the Erik Ten Tag and then Ashworth were mistakes.
“I accept that and I apologize for that,” said Ratcliffe, who claimed that Ashworth was missing “chemistry” with the rest of the leadership team.
Now Ashworth plays a role in the FA, the organization he left in 2018.
He will be director of football operations this week, according to the Telegraph.
Ashworth is said to have a huge decision -making power, will control a 'radical renovation' of St George's Park and supervise the senior and junior teams of the English gentlemen and women.
The FA would be pleased with the approaching appointment and Ashworth has contributed to achieving a lot of success the last time he was in situ in the administrative body.
The Onder-17s and young people under the age of 20 were world champions in 2017 and the Under-19S also became European champions in the same year.
Ashworth left the FA to become the technical director of Brighton before Newcastle took him as a sports director within a year.
He then left the Magpies, a decision that he reportedly admitted privately that he regrets, to be part of the new look team of Ineos in the United football department.
That sorry chapter came after 159 days, which was especially embarrassing for all involved in view of the length that United went, to free him from Newcastle.
Ashworth will now rebuild his reputation with his work in the FA after a tumultuous few years.
