Former Nottingham Forest academy chief Gary Brazil is set to take on a new role with the Football Association, as head of men’s recruitment and retention for England.
Brazil, 60, will identify potential future international players at all age groups, right up to the senior side, under manager Gareth Southgate.
Part of his role will be to ensure that England do not lose potential international players to other countries, when they might have dual-nationality; to highlight them as future England players ahead of any rivals.
He will also have an influence on the overall scouting network within.
