Arsenal Confirms Major Boardroom Restructure As Club Targets More Trophies

‎Arsenal confirmed a major boardroom shake-up on Friday, announcing the departure of Executive Vice-Chair Tim Lewis.

‎Managing Director, Richard Garlick has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect. Lewis, who joined the board in 2020 after years of advising Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, had served as Executive Vice-Chair since March 2023.

‎Garlick, who arrived at Arsenal in 2021 as Director of Football Operations, has served as Managing Director for the past year.

‎”Rich has made an enormous impact on all fronts as we continue to strive to win major trophies, be financially sustainable, and put our supporters at the heart of everything,” Arsenal Co-Chair Josh Kroenke said.

‎”At this moment, we would like to thank Tim for his continued dedication and commitment to Arsenal in a period of transformational change for the club.

‎”He has played a pivotal role and ensured we are in a great position to continue to deliver our strategy in our ambition to win major trophies.”

‎Arsenal have finished runners-up in the last three Premier League seasons, with their league title drought now 21 years.

‎They recruited heavily in this season, adding Viktor Gyökeres, the centre-forward fans have long called for in Sweden. They also bolstered the attack with Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze, and signed Spanish defender Cristhian Mosquera.
