DAN ASHWORTH has found a new role in a new sport after leaving Manchester United in December.

Ashworth, 53, left his role as sporting director with the Red Devils just five months after being appointed last year.

The former Newcastle United and Brighton director had been a long-term target for Man Utd as they began their new era under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

But after a lengthy battle to secure his services, and over £3million in compensation payments to Newcastle, Ashworth was out of the door after less than half a year.

And now the ex-FA director has found himself a new job, somewhere far away from Man Utd and football as a whole.

Ashworth has taken up an advisory role with Warwickshire County Cricket Club, according to The Times.

He has been involved with the cricket club since 2021, having held an honorary role on their audit committee for over three years.

That role is said to have involved oversight of what Warwickshire call their “elite teams and high-performance structure”.

Warwickshire are also set to announce a new performance director in the coming days.

However, Ashworth is understood to not be in consideration for that role.

It’s reported that the salary on offer for the role would fall well short of the money he has made through his previous jobs in football.

Instead Ashworth will work as a voluntary advisor.

Last week it was revealed Man Utd had spent £4.1MILLION on Ashworth’s exit from the club, in a report of the club’s accounts.

United also confirmed that they had spent £10.4MILLION on the sacking of manager Erik ten Hag and his team.

CARLA WARD will be looking to make it two wins from two as Republic of Ireland boss when they face Slovenia in the Nations League.

The new Girls in Green gaffer got her tenure off to an ideal – if imperfect – start with a 1-0 win over Turkey in Tallaght on Friday night.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match.

When is it on and what time is kick-off?

Slovenia vs the Republic of Ireland takes place on Tuesday, February 25 at the Bonifika Stadium in Koper.

Kick-off is at the earlier time of 5pm Irish time.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown live on RTE 2, with coverage starting at 4:30pm.

Those who are on the move or seeking to live stream the game can do so through the RTE Player.

What is the latest team news?

Leanne Kiernan will not be involved on Tuesday evening after the Liverpool star suffered a calf injury.

It will be a landmark evening for two Ireland players, however.

Captain Katie McCabe will win her 95th cap, inching her ever closer to becoming Ireland’s latest centurion.

Denise O’Sullivan, meanwhile, will win her 121st – putting her joint-second on the all-time appearance list alongside Louise Quinn.

What are the odds?

Ireland, being 14 places above Slovenia in the FIFA rankings, are 6/10 favourites to come away with the three points.

The hosts, meanwhile, are priced at 7/2 while the draw is valued at 12/5.

What has been said in the build-up?

While victorious against Turkey, Ireland were far from perfect, with Carla Ward admitting there is room for improvement.

However, she urged her players to show belief in themselves and not to be afraid to take risks on Tuesday evening.

Ward told RTE: “It’s my job to get these guys to believe. Like I keep saying, they’re good footballers, good people, we want to make sure that they feel comfortable, confident.

“We dominated the ball, we dominated every stat and I think it’s important that we can continue to talk about those moments.

“Because the more they can believe they can take the ball, that they can play, that they have our backing, that if they make mistakes then that’s okay… it’s my job to try and calm that chaos.

“It’s something we’ve done a bit of work on in the last couple of days. The system will never change with me.

“I have a very clear way of playing, the players can see that. 

“It’s trying to continue getting those messages in but we are going to try and look at something that will allow us to create more because we didn’t create enough (on Friday).

“We looked at it, five shots in the first half, none in the second. That’s an area that we’ve focused a lot of our work on the last couple of days both on and off the pitch.”

Dom Joly is returning to Trigger Happy TV for a special UK tour for its milestone anniversary.

The hidden camera show saw Dom, 57, portray a number of hilarious characters – from a traffic warden, the giant snail and of course his giant mobile phone.

He let slip the big plans on BBC Radio yesterday, before a live theatre tour was officially announced.

It will run for just four dates, kicking off at the Townhall in Birmingham before finishing in Adelphi Theatre, London later this year.

Announcing the tour, promoters Live Nation teased: “Fans will experience beloved moments from the show, including The Giant Snail, The Traffic Warden, The Morris Dancer, The Scout, A Gang of Squirrels, and THAT Big Mobile Phone.

“Dom will share behind-the-scenes stories and insights on how these unforgettable moments came to life. But the surprises don’t stop there – this is live theatre, and fans can expect the unexpected.

“Have you ever wondered what happened to The Traffic Warden or The Scout? Now’s your chance to find out.”

O2 ticket pre-sale will begin on Wednesday, 26th February at 10am, while general sale kicks off this Friday at 10am on Ticketmaster.

Meanwhile, the news comes days after Dom revealed the iconic original mobile phone had been stolen.

It had seemingly been on loan to a pop-up museum in Amsterdam when the ‘theft’ occurred.

Dom issued a public appeal to trace the iconic prop, while denying it was a stunt to promote the new tour.

He said: “I don’t think the Dutch police are taking it that seriously at the moment. I’ve talked to them and they just think that someone has wandered off with a plastic phone, so I don’t think they really get the gravity of the situation.

“The museum has reported it to them and I’m speaking to them on Monday but I don’t really know what’s happening. I’m not holding out much hope for it.”
