Angus Kinnear confirmed as Everton CEO, Leeds undergoes board changes

Angus Kinnear, the CEO of Leeds United, is set to depart the club for a similar role at Everton, beginning June 1. Kinnear has been with Leeds since 2017, playing a crucial role in their promotion to the Premier League and overseeing the transition to 49ers Enterprises ownership. His exit marks a significant change at Leeds as they prepare for a potential promotion push in the Championship, and the club plans to appoint Peter McCormick as the new executive vice chairman. Kinnear's tenure has been met with mixed feelings from fans, as his influence on the team's performance has been questioned, especially following their relegation. Everton, currently restructuring its leadership, has been without a permanent CEO since June 2023 and aims to stabilize its management with Kinnear's appointment. The transition comes amid broader changes in executive roles at both clubs, signaling new directions for their respective futures.
