He will get a better job post-Chelsea than he would've done if he'd just tried to get another EFL job after Hull without going to Strasbourg/Chelsea first, and he'll make a wedge of cash in the meantime too.

The Athletic: Southampton's Andy Goldie is 'the leading candidate' for the role of director of football at Leicester City
Goldie joined Saints in 2023 as Academy Director and was then promoted to Director of Group Talent for all of Sport Republic's clubs. He's reported to feel that he's ready for a senior role after three seasons with Saints at academy level
