Arsenal have made significant changes to the club’s structure in the past three-plus years which has led them to a significant upturn in competitiveness and has them competing this season for the Premier League title. The most major of all of course being the appointment of Mikel Arteta as head coach and now manager with, prior to the Spaniard's arrival, Edu Gaspar being made technical director and has now since become the sporting director.
In March, owner Stan Kroenke and his son and club director Josh Kroenke became Co-Chairs of the Arsenal board whilst Tim Lewis was appointed the Executive Vice-Chair. Vinai Venkatesham had already become CEO having previously been the managing director with former Head of Football Raul Sanllehi leaving the club in 2020 alongside a huge number of redundancies.
Scouts have been brought in to analyse talent both in the UK and abroad. All the changes have occurred and had a direct impact on the club’s success.
