The American football team’s partnership and investment arm, 49ers Enterprises, will take the stake in the Yorkshire-based club owned by Italian entrepreneur Andrea Radrizzani. Paraag Marathe, president of 49ers Enterprises and executive vice-president of football operations at the 49ers, has joined the board at Leeds. The controlling owner of 49ers Enterprises is Jed York, chief executive of the 49ers NFL franchise. Leeds and 49ers Enterprises also announced a “strategic partnership”, in which the two groups will collaborate on sporting ventures and seek investments in start-ups in the sport and media industries.
