Leeds appoint Robbie Evans as document emerges on Companies House
Leeds United have officially appointed Robbie Evans in a new role, as documents from Companies House have confirmed changes at Elland Road.
49ers Enterprises have clinched Premier League promotion at the Whites, and their reorganisation in the boardroom has started.
Angus Kinnear has departed his role at Elland Road and is set to join Everton under The Friedkin Group (TFG).
Evans has been Chief Strategy Officer at the West Yorkshire outfit since 2023, but has been handed a new role.
Evans officially appointed as managing director at Leeds United as Companies House documents revealed
Evans has officially been appointed as managing director at the Whites, according to documents from Companies House.
It’s been revealed on 9 May that the Stanford University graduate is now the managing director at Elland Road.
Kinnear’s termination has also been made official, with the West Yorkshire outfit’s CEO moving to Merseyside soon.
Evans has vast experience with the American owners at Elland Road and worked on developing the new stadium for the San Francisco 49ers.
Elland Road braced for changes in the Premier League
The Elland Road will witness Premier League football after a two-year exile from the top flight, and they’ll have huge expectations from the owners.
It looked like the 49ers would sack Farke after winning promotion this season, but Paraag Marathe has dismissed all questions about the German manager’s future.
The West Yorkshire outfit will arguably need to make massive changes to their squad in the upcoming transfer window to ensure survival next season.
| Championship table (2024/25) | Matches played | Points | Goal difference |
| 1. Leeds | 46 | 100 | 65 |
| 2. Burnley | 46 | 100 | 53 |
Leeds need to take lessons from the likes of Southampton and Leicester City, who failed to adequately reinforce their squad after winning promotion.
Marathe has an obligation to hand Farke the right tools to help the Whites survive immediate relegation from the top flight.
The boardroom shuffle at Elland Road arguably shouldn’t affect the West Yorkshire outfit much, as Evans has been working there for a while.
Every member of the Peacocks will have to put in significant effort to achieve success next season, and supporters will hope the new managing director is up to the task.
