Magnusson switches West Ham role

Eggert Magnusson West Ham's billionaire owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson will take a more hands-on role after Eggert Magnusson's decision to step down as executive chairman.

The shake-up is the next stage of West Ham's plan to break into the Premier League's top four, and includes moving the club to a new stadium.

Gudmundsson said: "It is vital we strengthen the senior team and build a management structure for the future."

Magnusson will stay on as non-executive chairman and keep his West Ham stake.
