1 min read

Paraag Marathe, the San Francisco 49ers executive vice president of football operations, is leaving the organization after 25 years, the team announced via Adam Schefter of ESPN. Marathe will shift his attention to the soccer clubs the 49ers own, including Leeds United, where he serves as chairman, and Rangers FC. Two weeks ago he briefly emerged as a finalist to become MLS commissioner before withdrawing. Marathe was a quiet behind-the-scenes force on contracts and salary-cap management, a role that now leaves a gap the 49ers will need to fill promptly.
