Leeds United can confirm Chief Business Officer Morrie Eisenberg will leave the club later this summer, to take up the role of Chief Executive Officer at San Diego Wave FC.

Eisenberg joined Leeds in October 2023 and has played an instrumental role at the club, including with the well documented stadium redevelopment, from outlining initial ambitions in September 2024 to gaining full planning permission for the project in January 2026.

Alongside this he also led the club’s commercial revenue and business operations, with record results.

Managing Director Robbie Evans said: “While I am disappointed to see Morrie leave, I am grateful for his effort and impact over the last three years. Much as with players, when you employ excellent people who produce excellent results, sometimes the unfortunate effect is that they will attract interest elsewhere.

“Morrie and I first met three years ago in discussing if we should leave our old lives behind to try and help Leeds United return to its rightful place in English football. Three seasons later, he leaves with the club on an excellent trajectory. I hope Morrie is especially proud of his tireless work on the stadium expansion, which will benefit the club, supporters, and the community for generations to come.

“Morrie and his wonderful family depart with the best wishes of the club. He is welcome anytime if he tires of California sunshine and misses the Yorkshire weather!”

Eisenberg added: “It has been a privilege to work at Leeds United for the past three seasons, in that time we have made so many positive strides towards our ambition of becoming an established Premier League side, with so many terrific memories created together over that time.”

“The club has amazing people behind the scenes, I would like to thank them as well as the people of Yorkshire for making me feel so welcome.

“Thanks also to the incredible fans of Leeds United around the world as well as club ownership for this opportunity, I’ll always remain a proud member of the Leeds United family and wish the club every success looking ahead.”

Morrie will officially leave his role in August and everyone at Leeds United would like to wish him and his family the very best for the future.
