Is Omar Berrada good?

“As one of the most experienced football executives at the top of European football, Omar brings a wealth of football and commercial expertise, with a proven record of successful leadership and a passion to help lead change across the Club.

He joined City in 2011, serving as head of international business development, director of partnership sales, and then senior vice president group commercial director, before becoming the club’s chief operating officer in 2016.

In 2020, he was promoted to a senior role at City Football Group.

As with many other senior officials at City — including manager Pep Guardiola — Berrada spent several years working at Barcelona during a very successful period for the club, though he is French-Moroccan rather than Catalan.

Berrada was identified and pursued by INEOS but with endorsement from the Glazer family, who still own the majority of the club, in what was ultimately a joint decision.
