Paraag Marathe Departs 49ers After 25 Years

Paraag Marathe, executive V.P. of football operations, is leaving the San Francisco 49ers after 25 years with the team to focus on soccer clubs owned by the organization.

Marathe will concentrate on the 49ers' soccer clubs, Leeds United of the Premier League and Rangers FC of the Scottish Premiership, where he currently serves as chairman of Leeds. The executive recently withdrew his name from consideration for MLS Commissioner, creating the impression he would remain with the 49ers. newsbetting.bond

Marathe has been a behind-the-scenes force in the organization, known for negotiating contracts and managing the salary cap. His departure leaves a significant void in the 49ers' front office, though the team reportedly has plans to fill the position.
