Arsenal is planning to make around 60 staff members redundant, according to multiple reports, despite the club announcing record revenue and agreeing a lucrative new contract for manager Mikel Arteta.
The announcements come in the context of Arsenal’s recent sporting and financial momentum, including the club’s first title win in 22 years and encouraging results for the 2024-25 season. The Independent reports Arsenal will make dozens of staff redundant, while other outlets specify a figure of 60.
Outlets frame the decision differently, pointing to the contrast between strengthened finances and leadership stability on the one hand, and job losses on the other. All accounts describe staff being told about redundancy plans, but they do not converge on the specific departments, timeline, or stated reasons for the cuts beyond the broader backdrop of recent revenue and contract announcements.
