Arsenal Plan Up to 60 Job Cuts in Club-Wide Restructuring
Arsenal are preparing to remove up to 60 roles in a club-wide restructuring, with chief executive Richard Garlick informing employees of the planned redundancies this week.
What we know
- The cuts could affect around seven per cent of Arsenal’s 871 permanent staff across several departments.
- Men’s and women’s playing squads, plus their coaching teams, are not included in the planned reductions.
- The move follows Arsenal’s record £691 million turnover for the 2024-25 season.
- Mikel Arteta said the review had been presented as an effort to improve the club’s structure, place people in suitable positions and continue investment.
- Arteta said staffing decisions sit with the executive board, stressing that he is not the person to answer detailed questions on the process.
- The announcement comes soon after the Arsenal manager agreed a new four-year deal, reported to be worth up to £20 million per season, following the club’s first Premier League title since 2004.
Next step: Forest first, then Bayern
Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday as Arteta attempts to keep attention on the pitch. The champions then travel to Germany for a Champions League meeting with Bayern Munich.
