Following the news that Martin Glenn will step down as Chief Executive Officer of The FA at the end of the season, the Premier League would like to pay tribute to his excellent work leading the organisation.
During his four-year tenure, the England men’s and women’s teams reached FIFA World Cup semi-finals, England age group teams achieved unprecedented success and the women’s game has continued to thrive.
Glenn has also significantly increased The FA’s commercial revenues and ensured the national governing body is providing more funding than ever for community football.
"Martin has been excellent to work with over the last four years and deserves huge credit for the continued development of St George’s Park, the successes of men’s, women’s and junior national teams and for prioritising community football," Premier League Executive Chairman Richard Scudamore said.
"During his tenure the working relationship between the Premier League and The FA has been better than ever – as demonstrated by changes made to the football calendar which will see the introduction of a mid-season player break.
"I wish Martin deserved success for the future."
