Albion have appointed Dan Ashworth as the club’s new technical director.
He is set to begin his role with the club in the spring.
The Seagulls have confirmed his appointment this morning.
Ashworth is leaving his job as technical director to head to the Premier League.
Albion chairman Tony Bloom said: “There is no doubting Dan’s standing within the game, and we are absolutely delighted that he will be joining us as our technical director.
“Dan’s CV speaks for itself, and while his work alongside Gareth Southgate, with England’s senior men’s team, was well documented last summer during the World Cup, it’s also worth highlighting his excellent work and successes across all the England men’s, women’s and junior teams.”
Ashworth, 47, will be responsible for the club’s ongoing football development. He will also oversee the academy and medical departments, as well as player recruitment at all levels.
