Daws promoted to Motherwell's head of football
Nick Daws is excited to "play a key role in Motherwell's continued evolution" after being appointed the club's head of football. The Englishman, 56, takes the new post at Fir Park after five years as head of recruitment. He will continue to lead player recruitment while Motherwell say his new duties include "connecting all football department staff across the club, from the first team to the academy, ensuring succession planning is in place".
Daws said: "I am delighted and honoured to accept the new position as head of football at the club. "Over my five-year tenure as head of recruitment, I have built strong relationships across all departments and with the board. "Having the opportunity to play a key role in Motherwell's continued evolution and support a talented, committed group of people is an exciting proposition.
" Manager Jens Berthel Askou said: "Nick has been a tremendous support for me since I arrived last summer, having already put most pieces together in the staff as well as leading the process of finding the last and very vital pieces after my arrival. "He has taken the lead on our data-driven analysis of both player recruitment and development of the game model in close cooperation with our data partner and the staff. "His role and responsibilities have grown bigger and stronger over the last five seasons, and I'm very pleased to see him enter his new position.
