Angus Kinnear: The New Face of Everton's Transformation

Everton Football Club has named Angus Kinnear as their new chief executive, tapping into his extensive leadership expertise in the Premier League. Kinnear, who had served as CEO of Leeds United since 2017, brings a wealth of experience from key roles at Arsenal and West Ham United.

Marc Watts, Everton Executive Chairman, expressed confidence in Kinnear's ability to steer the club during a transformative period. Kinnear's strategic acumen is expected to be crucial as Everton transitions to a new stadium and embraces new ownership under the Texas-based Friedkin Group, which completed a majority takeover in December.

The impending move from Goodison Park to the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium marks an end of an era for Everton, with an emotional farewell match against Southampton scheduled. Colin Chong will return to his role in real estate and oversee developments around the club, including Goodison Park's future.
