Are Arsenal better or worse without Gazidis?

Unai Emery is convinced Ivan Gazidis has left Arsenal in great hands after it was announced the club’s chief executive is set to take up a position at AC Milan.

Following significant speculation, it was finally confirmed on Tuesday that Gazidis’ time at Arsenal is to come to an end in October after striking a deal with Milan’s owners, Elliott Management.

Arsenal revealed that Gazidis’ exit will result in restructuring of their hierarchy, with Raul Sanllehi’s position of head of football relations becoming head of football and Vinai Venkatesham – formerly chief commercial officer – now managing director.

Gazidis was understood to be part of a three-man committee who decide on signings and coaching appointments, with Sanllehi and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat the other two.
