Newcastle United have shaken up their boardroom with appointment of two new directors and one significant exit at St James' Park. Companies House documents show Abdulmajid Al-Hagbani and Asmaa Rezeeq, both of whom have ties to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), were added to the club's hierarchy on February 23.
The duo arrive as former director Majed Al Sorour vacates his position at Newcastle after only a matter of months. The Saudi businessman has also been replaced in his role as CEO of Saudi Golf in recent weeks.
Al Sorour was hired by Newcastle in May 2022 due to his close ties to Newcastle chairman and PIF supremo Yasir Al-Rumayyan. The Saudi chief was seen at St James' Park on multiple occasions but left his role on Tyneside back in December.
