Kick It Out chair Sanjay Bhandari will leave his role at the end of the 2026-27 season after more than seven years leading the anti-discrimination organisation. Bhandari was appointed in 2019 and received an MBE for services to football in 2024.
Kick It Out will begin recruiting his successor and aims to identify a preferred candidate by the end of December. The incoming chair is expected to work alongside Bhandari before formally taking charge on 1 July 2027.
