AIK Fotboll chairman Mikael Jomer resigns with immediate effect, Digi Mart USA News: Mikael Jomer has stepped down as chairman of AIK Fotboll effective today, November 9. Andreas Sand, who has served as vice chairman, will take over as board chairman until the next annual general meeting.
The changes take effect immediately. In a statement on the club’s website, Jomer said the nomination committee and the election committee had informed him that they did not intend to nominate him for re-election at the upcoming annual meeting and shareholders’ meeting.
He said he respected that decision.
Jomer said serving as chairman of AIK Fotboll requires an “almost boundless commitment.” He added that, given the nomination committee’s decision, it was natural to reflect on how he could best contribute to AIK going forward. He said important decisions on budget, operational planning and long-term strategy remain ahead, and that it was right for board colleagues with longer mandates to lead that work together with Christer and the organization.
AIK is also in a transition period on the executive side. Christer Abrahamsson became the new chief executive in November, and outgoing chief executive Fredrik Söderberg will remain in the role through November.
AIK played as recently as yesterday, defeating Häcken 3–2.
