Jason Kidd Joins Everton Ownership Amid Stadium Move

Dallas Mavericks head coach and NBA Hall of Famer Jason Kidd has joined the ownership group of Premier League club Everton through Roundhouse Capital Holdings, part of The Friedkin Group, which acquired a majority stake in December. Kidd, a 10-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, brings his leadership and sports expertise as Everton prepares to move into a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for the 2025-26 season. Everton chairman Marc Watts and the Friedkin Group have welcomed Kidd, noting the value he brings during a crucial transition. This move follows a turbulent season for the Mavericks, who missed the NBA playoffs after trading Luka Doncic, and for Everton, who secured their Premier League status under new management. Kidd's investment supports Everton's aim to expand its brand in the U.S. market. His previous interest in Premier League ownership and involvement with other sports franchises underscore his commitment to soccer.
