Tim Devine is now EFC Academy Director on a permanent basis

[BoysInBlue]

Replacing Alan Irvine.

Interesting article on it all here:

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2014/11/12/new-head-of-academy

Tim Devine - Academy Director
Joe Royle - Professional Development Co-ordinator
David Unsworth - Under 21s Head Coach
Kevin Sheedy - Under 18s Head Coach

All the coaches also regularly take sessions with the other age groups on a rotational basis, e.g. Unsworth has knowledge of the EFC kids teams etc.

Martinez is putting a really good system in place.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Like the sound of them coaching other age groups from time to time.

What's this guys background I can't remember hearing anything about him before?

Previously a welfare and education officer at Liverpool, this can't be the same fella surely.

Devine, who was previously the Club’s Head of Academy Management, has been tasked with marking out the player development pathway in order to maintain Everton’s commitment to producing footballers good enough to star in the first team.

Bills obviously had more to do with this appointment than meets the eye

 

[Moomin]

Is he the fella known for his one liners??

....actually remember Tim from his playing days, decent as a youth and a high profile career since. I was of a view that he was more on the educational development side than the training angle. Yes, he had a job with the reds but it was his career. Don't forget the likes of Jonny Morrisey, Alan Harper and Kevin Sheedy worked on the dark side before seeing the light.

I thought Joe Royle was at Norwich for some reason. Great to see so many ex players involved throughout the ages though.

 

[bizzaro]

Don't mind this provided that there's a genuine commitment to the youth teams and not just a Brendan Rodgers waffle waffle approach

ie school of science

How should I feel about this? I'm waiting for one of you lads to seem sure enough about it that I can adopt your thinking for my own.
