Arsenal have announced that Stan Kroenke and Josh Kroenke have been appointed as Co-Chairs whilst Tim Lewis becomes Executive Vice-Chair. The announcement comes as a major change to the club's leadership structure as it continues its evolution since Kroenke Sports & Entertainment assumed 100% ownership of Arsenal in 2018.
Josh Kroenke was appointed as a non-executive director at the club back in 2013, whilst Lewis left his role at law firm Clifford Chance last year to focus more on the Gunners. Lewis advised Stan Kroenke through the 2007-2018 period when KSE invested more and more money into Arsenal before buying it outright.
A statement from Stan Kroenke read: "This is a simple evolution as part of us all driving Arsenal forward and further reaffirms our family’s long-standing commitment to this great club. Stability in football has never been more important as we move past the pandemic, and we believe this is the perfect time to formalise these roles.
