England’s head of team strategy and performance, Dave Reddin, will step down from his role at the end of the year, The FA have announced.

Reddin, who worked previously as the head of performance services, has been overseeing the team strategy of all 28 England sides since 2016, responsible for aligning strategic vision and structure.

During his time in the role England’s senior team reached the semi-finals of the World Cup and Nations League, while the men’s youth sides enjoyed wins in the U17s and U20s World Cups.

The women’s team, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals of the 2017 Euros and won the She Believes Cup earlier this year.

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