Everton Appoints Angus Kinnear CEO as Club Begins New Stadium Era

Everton Football Club has appointed Angus Kinnear as their new Chief Executive Officer, marking a significant leadership change as the club prepares to transition to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Kinnear brings over 20 years of football administration experience, having previously held senior roles at Leeds United, Arsenal, and West Ham United, and is expected to lead Everton into a new era with a focus on sustainable success on and off the pitch. His appointment follows the recent completed takeover by the Texas-based Friedkin Group, which acquired a 98.8% stake in the club from former majority owner Farhad Moshiri. The club is also undergoing broader structural changes, including departures from the director of football model and key recruitment staff, with manager David Moyes anticipated to have increased influence in future transfer decisions. Everton's interim CEO, Colin Chong, will return to his role overseeing stadium development and regeneration projects. The club is currently commemorating Goodison Park's final season as its home since 1892, with an emotional farewell scheduled against relegated Southampton.
