AUCKLAND – New Zealand Football Chief Executive Graham Seatter is to step aside after three years in the role.
Seatter announced his resignation to staff this morning and will depart the Albany-based national body on April 18 after successfully guiding the sport through a challenging period of expansion.
NZ Football Chairman John Morris thanked Seatter for his “tireless work” for the game.
“Graham’s energy, passion and boundless optimism for our game will be sadly missed,” Morris said before announcing a new tack for the code.
Morris confirmed that the NZ Football Board would take a more operational role in an effort to drive the national body on the road to long-term financial sustainability. A new CEO will be appointed in due course.
The restructure will also include a review of NZ Football’s current administrative set-up and strategic plan.
While sad to walk away from a game with “limitless potential in New Zealand”, Seatter will depart confident the sport has grown under his watch, an ambitious period of expansion that had been “widely accepted” by the game.
