We’re pleased to announce our Director of Football Operations, Richard Garlick, will take the role of Arsenal’s Managing Director in summer 2024.

Richard will step into the role when Chief Executive Officer, Vinai Venkatesham, leaves Arsenal following the announcement of his decision to step down last year.

A respected leader and qualified lawyer, Richard held a number of high-profile roles in the industry before joining Arsenal in 2021 as Director of Football Operations, where he has executive responsibility for all football operations and administration across the club, including women's football and player care.
