“The club understands his decision to look for a new challenge and he leaves with our thanks and best wishes.”

Omar Berrada’s Profile

Berrada, who had been with Barcelona, joined City in 2011, collaborating with City Football Group’s CEO Ferran Soriano and City director of football Txiki Begiristain. This trio is recognized for playing a key role in City’s transformation into a highly efficient commercial entity off the field, contributing significantly to the club’s success under manager Pep Guardiola.

Berrada’s recent appointment at United is noteworthy as one of the initial significant moves made by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe since acquiring a 25 percent stake in United for $1.3 billion. Manchester United has been operating without a permanent CEO since Richard Arnold’s departure at the end of the previous year.
