"Newcastle United are hoping to secure Ross Wilson as their next sporting director, with both chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan and manager Eddie Howe backing the move. The Magpies have been without a permanent figure in the role since Paul Mitchell's departure earlier this year, leaving recruitment and long-term planning in limbo. Wilson, currently serving as Nottingham Forest's Chief Football Officer, has emerged as the top target."
"The manager has openly called for the position to be filled, admitting that Newcastle's summer window was challenging without proper leadership behind the scenes. Wilson would be expected to take charge of negotiations, freeing Howe to focus on the pitch. I'm desperate for a sporting director, Howe told. We need that person, his expertise, it is a never-ending network. I had a very good relationship with Dan Ashworth, a very good relationship with Richard Hughes at Bournemouth."
Newcastle United are pursuing Ross Wilson as sporting director with backing from chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan and manager Eddie Howe. The club has lacked a permanent sporting director since Paul Mitchell's departure, creating uncertainty in recruitment and long-term planning. Wilson is currently Nottingham Forest's Chief Football Officer and has been identified as the top target. The ownership group and hierarchy have sanctioned the appointment once formal terms are agreed with Forest. Wilson brings a strong track record at Rangers and Forest in managing transfers and overseeing football operations. Howe wants the role filled so negotiations can be handled off the pitch.
