Nick Cox, Manchester United's academy director, is set to become Everton's technical director as part of their restructuring under the Friedkin Group.
Cox joined Manchester United in 2016 from Sheffield United and has since declined numerous offers from various clubs and governing bodies.
A succession plan is underway at Manchester United, with Cox expected to stay for a few months to ensure a smooth transition before leaving for Everton.
As head of the academy since 2019, Cox played a crucial role in revamping Manchester United's youth system, leading to their FA Youth Cup victory in 2022 with players like Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
During his tenure, Cox oversaw the debut of 27 academy players into United's first team, and the club has generated around £100 million from selling homegrown talent in the last three years.
