London – Investment banker Gary Hoffman was appointed chairman of the English Premier League on Friday, and he will be working with chief executive Richard Masters.
The Premier League said in a statement the 59-year-old would take up the role from June 1 after shareholders voted unanimously in favour.
Hoffman was chairman of the Coventry Building Society and Monzo Bank.
He earlier served notice of his intention to resign as non-executive chair of Hastings Group Holdings before taking up the new role.
The former chairman of the Football Foundation, who began his career at Barclays and was a chairman of Visa Europe, succeeds acting chair Claudia Arney.
