Ross Wilson (Newcastle United)
October 2025
Newcastle United have secured Nottingham Forest’s Ross Wilson as their new sporting director, replacing Paul Mitchell. The move continues the Saudi-backed club’s restructuring to modernize its football operations and improve recruitment strategy.
Wilson, who helped guide Forest to European football, brings a data-driven recruitment approach aligned with Eddie Howe’s vision. He’ll oversee football operations, with technical director Sudarshan Gopaladesikan reporting to him, as Newcastle prepare for the January transfer window.
