“I am immensely proud to be a part of Newcastle United’s exciting journey as CEO, and I consider it to be an extraordinary privilege,” Eales remarked.
But I’ve realized that this is the ideal time to make this choice so I can put my family and my health first.
Within the first year of Newcastle’s £305 million acquisition sponsored by Saudi Arabia, Eales was named.
Since his arrival, the team has advanced to its first domestic cup final in 24 years, the 2022–23 Carabao Cup, and last season, after Eddie Howe’s team finished fourth in the Premier League, it was back in the Champions League.
Following Dan Ashworth’s departure to Manchester United in July, Newcastle announced the appointment of Paul Mitchell as their sporting director.
