Dan Ashworth concludes a new role after just three months after his abrupt exit from Manchester United, according to reports.
Ashworth, 54, was relentlessly dismissed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos only 159 days in his term of office as Sporting Director of Manchester United in December, after he was aware of the club's decision by Chief Executive Omar Berrada in the nasleep of their 3-2 defeat.
Manchester United Pocherde Pochworth from Newcastle United 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.
Now, according to the Telegraph, Ashworth is in conversation about a stunning return to the FA, who had previously been their director of Elite Development between 2012 and 2018 before moving to Brighton.
If the senior role is agreed, the 54-year supervision would supervise the new 'St George's Park 2.0 project' of the FA, which was announced by the administrative body in February.
The three -year project is planning to bring a 'radical renovation' to the training basis of England, which influence both the senior and the junior teams of both men and the ladies.
Ashworth would also take a good look at the development of coach, in the midst of growing concerns that there are currently only two English managers in the Premier League – Newcastle's Eddie Howe and Graham Potter from West Ham.
Discussions with Ashworth started for the first matches of Thomas Tuchel who are in charge of England during the international break in March.
Tuchel, who was appointed by FA Chief Executive Mark Bullingham and technical director John McDermott and started his role officially in January, led the three lions to 2-0 and 3-0 victories against Albania and Latvia at Wembley, respectively.
It is claimed that the potential appointment of Ashworth would not have a direct influence on the role of McDermott as technical director, with his position to remain unchanged.
Kay Cossington, who is currently working as technical director of England, will leave her role for a new challenge at the end of the year.
