Newcastle fans are excited at the prospect of Dan Ashworth becoming the new director of football at St James’ Park.
The former Brighton supremo - who spent five years at the FA as director of elite development - left his role on the south coast this morning amid a possible move to Tyneside.
ChronicleLive understands that Ashworth had been interviewed for the gig at Newcastle, who have actively been pursuing a sporting director since the £300million takeover was completed in October.
