The Gunners have lost their CEO and head of recruitment in the space of three months and now begin the search for stability again
When Ivan Gazidis hired Sven Mislintat as head of recruitment at Arsenal in November 2017 surely neither of them expected to depart the club just over a year later. What has happened in the space of 14 months shows just how quickly things change in football, as the Gunners have lost their chief executive to AC Milan and recruitment specialist, nicknamed ‘Diamond Eye’, in quick succession.
Mislintat revealed in an interview after joining Arsenal that he envisioned staying at the club for “10 or 12 years”.
