“Saints’ Revolving Doors Spin: Southampton Waves Goodbye to Director of Football”.
Southampton has confirmed the departure of their director of football, Jason Wilcox, who has been appointed as the new technical director at Manchester United. The Championship club reluctantly agreed to let Wilcox go after negotiations led to an acceptable compensation agreement with United.
Wilcox who join Southampton last summer following their relegation to the Championship, played a pivotal role in managing the club’s football operations, including the first team, women’s team, academies, and the recruitment department. Despite his short tenure, Wilcox’s impact was notable, and Southampton expressed disappointment over his departure, acknowledging his contributions and wishing him well for the future.
Southampton’s statement highlighted their frustration with the situation, noting that Wilcox’s departure comes at a crucial time as the club strives for promotion back to the Premier League. The club emphasized the challenge of losing such a key figure so soon, but they remain committed to their goals and will seek a suitable replacement to continue their progress.
Wilcox’s previous experience includes a significant stint at Manchester City, where he served as academy director and oversaw the development of several top talents. His move to Manchester United marks a significant step in his career, as he takes on the responsibility of enhancing the technical performance standards at one of the world’s most renowned football clubs.
