Everton senior figure mooted to get new contract after takeover on one condition - report

Everton Director of Football Kevin Thelwell might well get a new contract if he’s willing to work under the new structure mapped out by the Friedkin Group, according to i.

The news outlet reported on 28 September that with Thelwell’s deal running out at the end of the season, a decision will need to be made on his future.

The Friedkins are expected to have taken note of the work he’s done behind the scenes.

Everton may give Kevin Thelwell a new short-term contract

Retaining Thelwell under the new regime led by the Friedkin Group makes sound strategic sense due to his knowledge of the club’s operations.

Having navigated the complexities of the club’s current structure, Thelwell’s experience in recruitment, player development and squad management provides a continuity that could be invaluable during a transition phase.

The Friedkins, by offering him a short-term contract, will essentially conduct a probationary period of kinds to align his performance with their new vision and operational expectations.

This approach not only minimises risk by not committing long-term to an untested fit within their system but also leverages his existing expertise.

If Thelwell can adapt and deliver within the new American owners’ framework, this could lead to a more permanent placement, ensuring stability and leveraging insider knowledge for the club’s benefit, potentially improving recruitment and football operations.
