Darren Eales has already told Newcastle United supporters the exciting vision he'll bring to the club as CEO. The former Atlanta United and Tottenham Hotspur chief joins the Magpies from the MLS outfit having been the president at the club since its birth in 2014.
He has a stellar reputation and he has been named the MLS Executive of the Year on two occasions. He was also named World Football Summit Executive of the Year in 2019.
Speaking to the FootballCo Business Podcast, Eales said: "It's a great question because it's always a question I get back in England, 'what've you brought from England to make Atalanta United a success?' I think to be honest, it's the other way round. I've learnt far more from the United States and it's not just MLS, from building a club, whether that's American football, soccer or Major League Baseball, for me it's about listening to the supporters.
