The Football Association’s technical director John McDermott will be a key figure.
McDermott was head of academy, coach and player development at Tottenham for 15 years before moving to the FA in 2020, initially as assistant technical director to Les Reed.
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham and chair Debbie Hewitt are the most senior non-football figures at the organisation.
There is no David Dein or David Gill-type presence on the FA Board, someone with day-to-day expertise at the ‘sharp end’ of football administration.
EFL chair Rick Parry is on the FA Board and may provide useful input, while Jobi McAnuff is also on the FA Board. He had a 20-year playing career across eight clubs, as well as representing Jamaica.
