Arsenal has ended 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 backroom staff changes taking place this summer. BBC Football and Yahoo Sports both report that Allen is the latest senior figure within Arsenal’s fitness and sports science set-up to move on, following earlier exits in the department.
The Athletic also frames Allen’s departure as the most recent development in a sequence of personnel changes. It notes that this comes amid Arsenal’s recent sporting progress, including the end of a long wait for a league title.
A separate Yahoo Sports report also links Allen’s exit to other staff movements, saying Sam Wilson is also set to leave. Across the sources, the common points are that Allen’s role in sports science and performance is ending, and that additional departures among fitness staff are expected as Arsenal reshapes its backroom structure.
