Kenyon takes Chelsea job.
(From China Daily)
LONDON: Peter Kenyon has left his job as Manchester United chief executive to take the same position at their English Premier League rivals Chelsea, Kenyon's solicitors said in a statement on Monday.
The appointment of Kenyon, who is being replaced at United by David Gill, represents a boardroom coup for Chelsea following their 110 million-pound (US$174.4 million) player spending spree since Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich took over in July.
"Peter Kenyon has recently been offered the job of chief executive officer of the Chelsea group of companies, a position that he has accepted," said the statement issued on Kenyon's behalf by his solicitors Mishcon de Reya.
"Peter Kenyon has been employed by Manchester United for over six years. He has enjoyed his time at the club enormously.
"However, the new opportunity that has arisen at Chelsea represents a challenge that Mr Kenyon feels is right to take at this stage of his career," the statement added.
A statement from Manchester United said Gill will take over as chief executive at Old Trafford, adding that Kenyon would go on garden leave in accordance with the terms of his contract.
