The reign of Kevin Thelwell is over.
After a little over two years, the head of sport is departing the New York Red Bulls for the previously vacant director of football position at Everton. He was first named as a candidate by the Daily Mail earlier this month and was connected with a similar role at Newcastle United last October. There are reports that former New York star Tim Cahill was reportedly involved and “pivotal” in the hire.
“I’m so pleased to be joining Everton and to have the opportunity to play a part in the Club’s ambitious journey,” Thelwell told the Toffees official website.
