Former Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow has stepped down from his position as the CEO of Aston Villa after five years at the club.
Purslow joined Villa while they were in the Championship in 2018 shortly after NSWE acquired a controlling stake in the club. It was his third role in English football after previous positions at Liverpool and Chelsea.
During his time at Villa Park, the 59-year-old oversaw the club's return to the Premier League, a then-British record sale of Jack Grealish to Manchester City, and Unai Emery's side securing European qualification for the first time in 10 years.
