Newcastle United boardroom reshuffle takes place at St James' Park as director departs

Newcastle United have notified Companies House of a boardroom reshuffle at St James' Park.

The changes see director Majed Al Sorour departing the role he took up last year and the appointment of new directors Abdulmajid Ahmed Alhagbani and Asmaa Mohammed Rezeeq. Abdulmajid Ahmed Alhagbani is senior manager of head of securities in the Middle East and North Africa with PIF.

He has previously held positions at HSBC Saudi Arabia. He has been a board member with the Kingdom Holding Company since May 2022.

Asmaa Mohammed Rezeeq is a senior analyst with PIF since 2018. She has held a similar role at Istithmar Capital between 2016 and 2017.

Co-owners Amanda Staveley and Jamie Reuben also remain as well as chairman and Public Investment Fund supremo Yasir Al Rumayyan. Al Sorour officially left his role in December after a matter of months on Tyneside. He has also been replaced by Noah Alireza as the CEO of Golf Saudi.

Al Sorour said after his appointment back in May: "Many thanks to you all for the wishes. The work has just started and I and all of us look forward to the next season with god’s bless and hard work we will do lots more not only for the NUFC but for the whole city of Newcastle and it’s amazing people."

Speaking after the Carabao Cup final, Staveley told Talksport: "I was so proud of all of the fans. Everybody. I was crying, my son was crying, we’re all crying. But it was amazing, at 2-0 down, we had flags going. The passion from everyone, they’ve all taken us on this journey.

"We will win the Carabao Cup. We will win the FA Cup. We will win the Champions League. We will win the Premier League. This is all about the amazing fans who have taken us on this amazing journey. "We’re just honoured and humbled. We feel very privileged to run Newcastle."
