Birmingham City have appointed Jeremy Dale as the club’s chief executive on a permanent basis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dale has been doing the job on an interim basis <\/a>since replacing Gary Cook, who stood down for personal reasons, in January.<\/p>\n

The club said former Microsoft executive Dale, who helped broker the successful takeover of Blues by American owners Knighthead in 2023, <\/a>had brought a “dynamic blend of strategic leadership, operational excellence, and lifelong passion for Blues” to the role.<\/p>\n

Dale will continue to oversee strategic development along with day-to-day operations and performance, as well as “accelerating commercial growth, and engage fans and partners across all levels”.<\/p>\n

Dale said it was “an honour” to become the permanent CEO, adding the opportunity the role presented working with the club’s owners was “huge”.<\/p>\n

Blues chairman and co-owner Tom Wagner said<\/a> the club had made “significant progress” under Dale and were “excited for his continued leadership as we maintain our focus on executing our long-term strategy and building a strong foundation for the future”.<\/p>\n

Wagner, whose colleagues on the Blues board include NFL legend Tom Brady as a minority owner, is targeting a return to the Premier League<\/a> following the club’s record-breaking promotion<\/a> from League One last season.<\/p>\n

The big-spending owners are also keen to build a new 62,000-seater stadium to replace their current home St Andrew’s as part of a planned 125-acre ‘Sports Quarter’ development to the east of the city.<\/p>\n

Those plans were recently boosted by the government’s decision to invest \u00a32.4bn in a local transport link <\/a>to the proposed site.<\/p>\n
