Charlton Athletic can confirm Charlie Methven will step down from his role as the club’s Chief Executive Officer.
Chairman of the club's Board Gavin Carter said: "Charlie has played a key role in helping the club move forward over the last two years and has provided the vision required to drive standards and help the club progress.
"He has played a pivotal role in putting the right people in place on both the football and business side of our club, which has resulted in improved performances on the pitch and meaningful increases in our commercial revenues. I wish Charlie well and he will always be welcome back to The Valley."
Methven said: "It has been an immense honour to serve this wonderful club. This time last year, when things were not progressing fast enough for all our liking, I agreed to move to south-east London and put my shoulder to the wheel, though it had never been my intention to take an executive role. With the club now on an upwards trajectory, it is time for me to pack my tent and give the owners and Board the necessary time to appoint a replacement in time to prepare for next season.
“This season, Charlton’s revenues across commercial, retail, hospitality and ticketing will increase by circa 30% and it has been a real pleasure to lead a young, talented, hard-working team at The Valley.
“I would like to thank the senior people I brought to Charlton for their unfailing efforts and good humour. But I would also like to express my gratitude specifically to three people who I had no previous experience of working with. To Gavin Carter and Paul Elliott CBE MBE on the Board, who have provided moral support, especially during tough times. And to Nathan Jones, who has been an outstanding colleague and an inspirational leader. The club is in great hands and I look forward to watching its progress in the coming years.”
