We are pleased to announce the appointment of Johan Lange as Technical Director, effective November 1, 2023.
Lange will be in charge of recruiting, analytics, and talent identification for our senior and academy teams.
Lange joined Aston Villa in June 2023 as Global Director of Football Development and International Academies, having previously served as Sporting Director since June 2020. Lange handled a number of high-profile player transactions during a period in which Aston Villa rose to the top half of the standings.
Lange, who had previously been an Assistant Coach, returned to FC Copenhagen in 2014 as Development Director and subsequently Technical Director the following season.
“Johan has demonstrated an excellent track record of scouting and signing many talented and successful youth and senior players,” said Scott Munn, Chief Football Officer, of his hiring. He is a valuable complement to our football operations.”
