Five months after Sir Jim Ratcliffe described Dan Ashworth as one of the world’s best sporting directors and paid around £5 million to buy the former Brighton director free from Newcastle, Ashworth is out of work. For Arsenal, a surprising opportunity.
Edu Gaspar resigned as sporting director at the Emirates, together with Mikel Arteta, he has created a title contender. According to ESPN’s sources, Ashworth could end up as the new sporting director at Arenal after Gaspar.
Arsenal director Richard Garlick is involved in choosing Gaspar’s replacement, Garlich has a past at West Bromwich Albion, where he worked closely with Ashworth.
Three days after Ashworth was sacked/agreed to terminate his employment, “one of the world’s best sporting directors” is very relevant to take on the job of building Arsenal all the way to the Premier League title.
