Leeds United can confirm CEO Angus Kinnear will leave his position with the club at the end of the season.

Kinnear has been in the role since 2017 and oversaw promotion to the Premier League in 2020, the ownership transition to 49ers Enterprises Global Football Group in 2023, along with the purchase of Elland Road Stadium and its return to the club. He will continue to serve as CEO until the end of the season to support a smooth handover process.

The club is also delighted to welcome Peter McCormick, who has resigned from his current roles at the Premier League and will be joining the club as Executive Vice Chairman. Bringing his experience as the former Chair of both the Premier League and Football Association, McCormick will support Chairman Paraag Marathe and other senior executives regarding strategic planning, stadium redevelopment and commercial matters, and will represent the club in key meetings.

Chairman Marathe said: “I want to thank Angus for his commitment and service for so many years, and for being a fantastic steward and leader of the club. As we move forward, I am confident that the incredible talent across our team will sustain our success. In the meantime, I look forward to continuing to work with both Angus and Peter as we fight for promotion in the coming weeks.”
