Former Manchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth is in discussions with the Football Association about a potential return to the governing body.
Sources have said the role he is in talks over would be to oversee both the men's and women's technical operations and the next stage of the refurbishment of St George's Park, home to all of England's teams.
Ashworth was sacked by Manchester United in December having spent just five months at Old Trafford, after Ineos hired him from Newcastle United.
The 54-year-old was previously at the FA between 2012 and 2018.
As first reported by the Telegraph, John McDermott, the FA's technical director, would stay in his position.
The FA has declined to comment.
Last month, it was established through United's accounts that hiring and firing Ashworth cost £4.1m, but the club are refusing to say if there would be any reduction in that figure if he returned to the FA.
In February, it was also revealed Ashworth was working with Warwickshire County Cricket Club, advising on performance strategy.
