The Football Association’s group head of marketing Simon Freedman is leaving to join mobile operator O2.
Freedman, who has held the role at the FA since 2007, will leave in August to become head of sponsorship at O2, overseeing its partnerships with AEG – which owns The O2 arena – the Rugby Football Union and Arsenal Football Club.
Freedman joined the FA from Coca-Cola, where he had worked as football marketing manager for three years. He reports to Julian Eccles, the FA's marketing and communications director.
News of Freedman’s departure follows the recent announcement from Nationwide that it is “unlikely” to renew its long-standing sponsorship of the England football team.
