Manchester witnessed the story of a betrayal. He United was officially appointed Omar Berradawhich until now is the City Football Group’s Head of Operations, as its new CEO.
Berrada, highly regarded within the ‘sky blue’ entity, resigned his position and moved to the great rival after INEOSwith the Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the head, he went as soon as he acquired 25% of the entity and had the approval of the Glazer family to carry out the operation.
So, Berrada is the bet, at 46 years old, to occupy the most important position in Manchester United, that of the executive director. He was free after Richard Arnold left him shortly before INEOS entered the club.
This is the first important decision of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, which was very well received within the club because of the speed with which it took place and the impact it represented. “We are determined to put football and on-field performance back at the heart of everything we do. As one of the most experienced football executives at the top of European football, Omar brings that to a sporting and commercial level, with a proven track record of successful leadership and a passion for helping to lead change across the club,” wrote the United in his statement.
“Barreda has managed 11 clubs on five continents and, before that, held senior positions at Barça. Our stated ambition is to re-establish Manchester United as a title-winning club,” the club highlighted, adding that “We are delighted that Omar is joining us to help achieve that goal so that, once again, United fans can see, in the words of Sir Matt Busby, the red flag flying high at the top of English football . , European and global”. For now, however, no date has been set for Barreda to join, as the Premier League must give the go-ahead, so Patrick Stewart will continue as interim CEO.
