In a new turn for UK football governance, David Kogan has been endorsed by a parliamentary committee to serve as the chair of an independent football regulator.
Kogan's extensive 45-year career in media and corporate advisory positions him advantageously for the role, having been involved in major TV rights negotiations for sports organizations like the Premier League and English Football League.
