BARNSLEY’S chief executive officer Khaled El-Ahmad has agreed to take up a role at Minnesota United FC at the end of the season.
El-Ahmad’s contract was due to end at the current season - and he will remain at the club unless there is a mutual termination once a suitable replacement is found.
A club spokesperson said: “The club wishes Mr El-Ahmad all the best for the future and thanks him for his service.
“The search for a new CEO has been in motion for the last few months alongside preparation for the January transfer window and the club are in the process of identifying a suitable replacement to continue to drive forward on and off the pitch.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
