Arsenal executive vice-chair Tim Lewis has left the club as part of a reshaping of the Gunners' board, with Richard Garlick named the new chief executive officer.

Lewis, who has worked with the Kroenke Sports and Entertainment (KSE) group since 2007, became a director of Arsenal in 2020 before becoming the executive vice-chair in 2023.

American Stan Kroenke acquired a 9.9% stake in Arsenal in 2007, becoming majority shareholder in 2011 and assuming 100% ownership in 2018.

Stan and son Josh Kroenke became co-chairs in 2023 in the last boardroom restructure.

Josh Kroenke, who has been increasingly active in the club, has been pictured at games in the early part of this season and attended the PFA Awards with members of the squad.

"At this moment, we would like to thank Tim for his continued dedication and commitment to Arsenal in a period of transformational change for the club," said Josh Kroenke.
