Ivan has run of Mil

-

IVAN GAZIDIS is quitting his role as Arsenal’s chief executive to take over a similar post at AC Milan.

The 54-year-old has worked for the Gunners since 2009 and has described his move as “the hardest decision” of his life.

Gazidis will leave Arsenal on October 31 before taking up his new position at the San Siro on December 1.

He will not be directly replaced, with Raul Sanllehi – currently head of football relations at the Emirates – to become head of football.

Chief commercial officer Vinai Venkatesha­m will take over as the north London club’s managing director at the same point.
