Dave Reddin will leave the FA at the end of 2019

Dave Reddin will step down from his role as our head of team strategy and performance at the end of 2019.

Reddin joined in 2014, initially as head of performance services, and went on to become head of team strategy and performance in 2016.

During his tenure, Reddin was responsible for the strategic vision and structure across all of the England teams, implementing a clear and consistent programme to align the teams across five key areas: performance analysis and insight, physical performance and nutrition, player insights, performance medicine, people and team development.

"Dave has played a key role across all 28 of our England teams during his time at The FA," said chief executive Martin Glenn.

"He has helped to lay the foundations of the modern day England set-up at St. George’s Park, with elite performance at its heart."

"The results have been clear to see across all of our teams and his meticulous attention to detail has allowed us to identify, embrace and implement new ways of working. Dave leaves with our thanks and best wishes for the future."

Reddin added: "I joined The FA six years ago and was inspired by the vision of the organisation and the role I could play in helping to deliver change and a fresh approach across all of the England teams.

"I was tasked with establishing a new and progressive approach to performance in order to help deliver sustained success across the teams. This involved developing detailed performance planning processes to give us the best possible chance of success at major tournaments.

"During my time, I’ve been fortunate to have been given the support and license to bring in many of the ideas and concepts from my experience in other sports. We've built a fantastic team at St. Georges Park and I’m confident there are strong foundations in place for successful England teams in the future.

"I’m very grateful for the support of Martin Glenn, Gareth Southgate, Phil Neville, Les Reed, Dan Ashworth and all of my colleagues over the years. It’s been a privilege to work at The FA and I'm proud of what I have achieved during my time here. I’d like to thank everyone at The FA for their support and wish them every success."
