Record-breaking movie director amongst trio of new board members and investors at Sheffield United

A trio of new board members and investors have been revealed at Sheffield United, including a famous director, as COH Sports pushes forward with its long-term plans for the club.

Joe Russo, Len Komoroski and Terry Ahern have all joined the board of directors of Sheffield United and become investors in COH Sports.

Joe, Len and Terry bring decades of experience in sports, entertainment and real estate and will support the ambitious agenda that COH Sports and co-chairmen Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy have for the Blades.

Joe Russo is a record-breaking director and producer who has been responsible for some of the most successful and culturally relevant global content. Through a quartet of movies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Joe Russo raised the bar for blockbuster filmmaking.

Len Komoroski brings more than 40 years of sports and entertainment experience. He currently is senior advisor of Rock Entertainment Group, which is an umbrella entity of teams and venues including the Cleveland Cavaliers and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, previously having served 19 years as CEO.

Terry Ahern is a leading figure in real estate advisory and investment management as co-founder, principal and chief executive officer of The Townsend Group.

Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, co-chairmen of Sheffield United, said: “We are delighted to welcome Joe, Len and Terry to the board of directors of Sheffield United Football Club.

“We want to see the Blades competing in the top-flight of English football consistently, not just on a one-off basis. An important element of this is ensuring Sheffield United Football Club has the highest quality team not just on the pitch but in the boardroom as well.

“Each of Joe, Len and Terry bring outstanding capabilities and decades of experience to the table as we plan for the long term, develop the brand and ensure we have the best infrastructure in place. As prospective board members and investors we know all Blades fans will give them a warm welcome at Bramall Lane.”
