MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe continued his overhaul at Manchester United by appointing Jason Wilcox as technical director on Friday.
Ratcliffe has assumed control of United’s failing soccer operations since February when he secured a 25% stake in the storied club.
A new CEO has been hired and a sporting director is also on his wanted list.
Wilcox, who United said would start immediately, is seen as a key appointment ahead of Ratcliffe’s first summer transfer window. He has joined from second division Southampton, where he was the director of football. He was previously the academy director at Manchester City.
“He will work with all technical areas of the football department to achieve the highest standards of performance,” United said in a statement.
Wilcox is Ratcliffe’s latest hire to have a connection with City.
