Ex-Juventus, PSG chief is expected to be the Red Devils' new CEO

The puzzle of who will be the new CEO of Manchester United is starting to come to light. It is reported that Jean-Claude Blanc will soon take up this position. Manchester United is currently in a transition period. This is because there is a new investor, namely Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who will overhaul the Red Devils internally. One of the positions that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has overhauled is the CEO position. Richard Arnold recently resigned from his position because Ratcliffe wanted to appoint a more experienced figure to become the new CEO of the Red Devils.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Sir Jim has decided who will be the new CEO of Manchester United. He is most likely to appoint Jean-Claude Blanc to occupy this position. According to Romano's report, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is determined to appoint Blanc to be the new CEO of Manchester United. This 60-year-old figure has a wealth of experience in the world of football. Among them is that he is the marketing executive of PSG.

He also served as CEO of Juventus, so the former Juve chief is considered to have good experience in managing the club. Romano reported that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Blanc were in intense communication regarding this work. Blanc is reportedly enthusiastic about getting this offer. Because he considers being the CEO of a club as big as Manchester United to be a big challenge for his career.

Romano said that the negotiation process between Blanc and Sir Jim was almost complete. So it won't be long before Blanc will serve as MU's new CEO. After filling the CEO position, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also reported to want to appoint a new sporting director. The names Paul Mitchell and Paolo Maldini are reportedly ready to assume these positions.
