Leicester City Football Club CEO steps down

She's been at the club for 15 years.

Leicester City Football Club has announced that Susan Whelan has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer after 15 years of service.

Susan joined the Club’s Board of Directors following King Power’s acquisition in 2010 and was appointed Chief Executive a year later.

The club has said: "Her leadership also supported the Club’s commercial growth and infrastructure development, including the delivery of the Club’s state-of-the-art training ground in Seagrave, the master planning of the King Power Stadium expansion project, and the integration of LCFC Women into the Club’s core operations. She contributed to shaping the Club’s long-term strategy for the women’s game across Leicestershire."

She is a trustee of both the Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation and Leicester City in the Community.

Leicester City Football Club has expressed 'its sincere gratitude to Susan for her leadership, professionalism, and unwavering commitment over the past 15 years.'

In the interim, Leicester City Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha will assume the role of acting Chief Executive Officer.
