When the news unofficially broke a month or so ago that Everton were to part company with Under-21s boss Paul Tait, I had the feeling that it would not be a like-for-like replacement that we would see at the club.
New Technical Director Nick **** has led a comprehensive review of the Academy. As part of that, the headlines are as follows:
Dean Rastrick formally took up his role as Everton’s new Academy Director in June.
Carl Darlington has been appointed Head of Academy Coach Development.
Dave Hughes, joins the Club in the new role of Head of Academy Player Development.
