Atlanta United's Dimitrios Efstathiou will replace the departed Darren Eales on the Aberdeen board. The Dons have announced a top table shake-up following Atlanta chief Eales accepting a new job as Newcastle United 's CEO.
The US club have a representative on the Aberdeen board as part of the clubs' "strategic partnership", established in 2019. That gap will now be filled by Efstathiou, who is vice president of football operations and strategy at United.
He previously worked for Major League Soccer for 11 years as vice president of business & legal affairs as well as senior vice president of player relations & competition. Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack thanked the outgoing Eales before welcoming Efstathiou with confidence that he'll bring fresh energy to the club's leadership. Cormack said: “Atlanta United has a representative on our board as part of the strategic partnership between the two clubs and we’re pleased to welcome Dimitrios to the Dons family.
