Burnley Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Mike Rigg as Technical Director.
Rigg, who has held a variety of high-profile roles within domestic and international football, will head up the process of talent identification and recruitment throughout the whole club, from Academy to first team.
The 49-year-old, who has previously worked as head of player acquisition at Manchester City, will also oversee a new, large investment programme in growing the talent identification and analysis teams at the club.
The new chain of command will see Rigg report directly into Chairman Mike Garlick, as remains the case with first team manager Sean Dyche.
