Incoming Huddersfield owner Kevin M Nagle lines up ex-Stoke technical director Mark Cartwright for director of football

HUDDERSFIELD’S incoming owner Kevin M Nagle wants a new director of football for a revamp.

American tycoon Nagle, 68, is due to take control before the end of the season and the Terriers are already after a transfer supremo.

Huddersfield Manager Neil Warnock is under pressure and could be replaced under the new ownership and director of football

Leigh Bromby is in the role but ex-Stoke technical director Mark Cartwright is tipped to replace him.

Cartwright would need to be persuaded to return from Florida where he is the United Soccer League’s sporting director.

The new recruit would also pick the next first-team boss — but that will depend on which division the Championship strugglers are in.

Huddersfield currently sit in 22nd place in the league and will need to fight hard to stay up.

Cartwright spent seven years with Stoke City between 2012 and 2019.

During his time with the club The Potters achieved three top half finishes inside the Premier League.

Cartwright left his role in November 2019 once the Staffordshire club had spent a season adrift in the Championship.

He was part of the team responsible for the signings of Barcelona’s Bojan and former Bayern Munich midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri.
