Christian Purslow to step down from Aston Villa chief executive role
Posted : 12 June 2023
Christian Purslow is set to step down from his role as chief executive and director of Aston Villa, as announced by the club.
Purslow, aged 59, was appointed in 2018 based on his successful commercial endeavors at Liverpool and Chelsea.
Following their defeat in the 2017-18 play-off final to Fulham, Aston Villa faced financial difficulties, including an unpaid tax bill.
Purslow expressed his gratitude for the privilege of leading Villa for the past five years, stating that he leaves the club in a significantly improved position both on and off the pitch.
