Chargers Owner Alex Spanos Dies at 95

Chargers owner Alex Spanos died on Tuesday morning, the team announced.

Spanos, 95, purchased the team in 1984. His son, Dean, has served as the team president since 1994 and currently operates as the controlling owner/chairman of the board. Alex Spanos's grandchildren, A.G. and John, took over day-to-day operations with the franchise in 2015.

While the team was still in San Diego back in 1994, it won its lone AFC Championship, but lost to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXXIX 49-26. The team moved back to Los Angeles in 2017 after spending every season after 1960 in San Diego.
