Arsenal is ending its employment of Tom Allen, the club’s head of sports science and performance, according to multiple reports. The departures are described as part of broader changes within the club’s backroom staff. BBC Football, The Athletic, and Yahoo Sports all report that Allen is leaving Arsenal, framing it as the latest personnel move among staff supporting the team’s performance and preparation.
The Athletic additionally reports that Sam Wilson, another member of Arsenal’s performance and sports science setup, is also expected to leave. The reports do not provide detailed reasons for the staffing changes or information on Allen’s next role. They also do not specify whether Arsenal is appointing replacements or how the responsibilities will be reorganised.
The timing of the move is noted in The Athletic in the context of Arsenal having recently ended a long wait for a league title, though the other outlets focus primarily on the staff departures themselves.
