Arsenal Cuts 60 Jobs in Off-Field Restructuring After Record Revenue
· Sports · BBC Sport
Arsenal chief executive Richard Garlick informed staff that the Premier League club is reducing its workforce by cutting up to 7 percent of its 871 permanent positions. The redundancies will affect off-the-field roles across several departments, while coaching, performance staff, the Arsenal Foundation, Arsenal in the Community, and security personnel remain unaffected. An external company conducted the workforce review before the club secured its first Premier League title since 2004. Manager Mikel Arteta defended the decision, stating he was told the cuts are necessary to evolve and achieve future success. The restructuring follows Arsenal's February announcement of record revenues of 691 million pounds for the 2024-25 financial year, alongside an overall loss of 1.4 million pounds and rising operating costs.
