Leeds United: Championship club appoint West Ham's Angus Kinnear as managing director

Angus Kinnear helped Arsenal become the first Premier League club to play a game in Vietnam.

Leeds United have selected Angus Kinnear as their new overseeing chief. 

Kinnear joins from West Ham, where he had likewise been overseeing executive, and directed the club's turn from Upton Park to the London Stadium.

The move comes in an indistinguishable week from Andrea Radrizzani's takeover of the Championship club.

"Angus has a brilliant reputation at Arsenal and West Ham and I am certain he will contribute an awesome arrangement to the club," Radrizzani said.

Kinnear was with the Hammers for a long time and spent the earlier decade at Arsenal as their chief of promoting deals and associations.

Active Leeds CEO Ben Mansford ventures down on 31 May, with Kinnear taking up his new part on 8 June.

Leeds are searching for another first-group director after Garry Monk's acquiescence on Thursday.
