Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton is stepping down from his position to make way for NESV representative Tom Werner.
Broughton had been brought in to oversee the sale of the club and having finally completed the deal with John Henry and his NESV group to take over at Liverpool, he is now stepping aside for the new owners' man Tom Werner.
Broughton confirmed his exit, writing in Saturdays match program for the game against West Ham, "That evening's game was my last home fixture as Chairman.
"It was always my stated intention to stand down once the sale was completed and I am happy that the club is now in good hands.
"This has been one of the most memorable experiences of my working life and would like to wish Liverpool and its supporters every success for the future.
"Everybody associated with the club can now look forward to an exciting future with the right owners and the club on a secure financial footing.
"I am proud to have been chairman during this turbulent time and would like to thank you all for the support you gave me, Christian Purslow, Ian Ayre and all the staff."
John Henry himself will reportedly be given the title at Anfield of Principal Owner.
