Arsenal executive vice-chairman Tim Lewis is stepping down from his role after 18 years with the club.
The experienced lawyer has held numerous roles at the Emirates, but has risen to prominence in recent years amid the club’s rise back to the elite level of competing in the Champions League and for the Premier League.
Lewis had become one of the most senior figures at Arsenal but is now stepping asideGettyThe 62-year-old was initially hired as an advisor in 2007, but rose up the ranks to become a director in 2020 and then vice-chairman in 2023.
Those roles saw him master the club’s pathway through the financially crippling Covid-19 pandemic, before becoming heavily involved in the transfer market.
Arsenal spent an estimated £225million in the summer window, with Lewis key in landing £60m Eberechi Eze ahead of north London rivals Tottenham.
His departure after such a rise to prominence comes as a surprise, particularly given his vital role in tying manager Mikel Arteta down to a new long term contract in 2022.
However, Lewis has been more associated with owner Stan Kroenke, who has taken a step back in recent years to pass over the day-to-day running of the club over to son Josh.
Managing director Richard Garlick is set to be promoted to CEO to work under Kroenke Jnr as part of a restructuring.
Two more representatives from Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) will join the board, as will long-time advisor Ben Winston.
