Chief executive Christian Purslow has left his role at Aston Villa.
In a statement on their official website, Villa announced Purslow is stepping down from his role as CEO after five years.
He said: "It has been a total privilege to lead Villa for the last five years. I am proud that I leave the Club in a much better position on and off the pitch than when I arrived.
"We are re-established in the Premier League; we now have a very competitive professional Women's team; we have outstanding Academies for boys and girls; we have created a world class training ground and secured planning permission for an expansion and modernisation of our wonderful stadium.
Thank you to everyone at Villa and our supporters who have made my time here so enjoyable."
