Martin Glenn has resigned as the Football Association’s chief executive and will leave his role at the end of this season.
Glenn started in the job in May 2015 and departs with England having reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia. His recent plan to sell Wembley to Fulham’s owner, Shahid Khan, fell through.
“I was tasked with improving the effectiveness of the organisation and making it financially secure,” Glenn told the FA’s website in announcing his departure.
Before joining the FA Glenn was chief executive of United Biscuits. He was a director at Leicester City from 2002 to 2006. As marketing manager of Walkers Crisps he enlisted Gary Lineker to become the face of the brand. He is a qualified FA grassroots coach and was appointed by former FA chairman Greg Dyke.
