CEO Shane Mattiske has announced he will transition out of his role at the Newcastle Jets after almost four years leading the Club.
Mattiske was the lead for the consortium that stepped in to save the Club early in 2021 and is now moving out of his role after establishing a strong foundation for the Club’s future and successfully bringing in new ownership for the Newcastle Jets, with the sale to Maverick Sports Partners.
Mattiske said:
“It is now six months since we locked in new ownership for the Club and created a new foundation for the future of the Jets and football in this community.
It is truly a great thing to have Maverick Sport Partners behind our Club and supporting its growth moving forward. I want to again thank Maurice Bisetto and the broader Jets ownership group for their belief in this Club and the potential of this community.
I also want to acknowledge the significant commitment that our outgoing owners made to supporting our Club and backing the shift to a new future for the Jets.
With the beginning of this new chapter for the Club, it is the appropriate time for me pass leadership to Maurice and the new ownership group. The last four years has been an incredible experience and one that, despite some challenging times, I will always value. I’ve been privileged to be part of a Club that is so important to such a big community and one that has such potential for the future. I will always have the Club’s success on my mind and will continue to do whatever I can to support its future.
I have sincerely valued the relationships that I have built with the Club’s members, fans, staff and players, with our great sponsor and partner family and with the football community as a whole. I thank all of this football community for their support through this important chapter of the Club’s history and I look forward to being part of this great Jets family into the future.”
Maverick Sports Partner Executive Director Maurice Bisetto paid tribute to Mattiske after his time at the Newcastle Jets.
“The last four years have been a difficult period for the Jets. Under Shane’s stewardship, the organisation has navigated turbulent waters and is now well positioned to embark on a new era.
On behalf of Maverick Sports Partners and the community we thank Shane for his contribution to the Newcastle Jets.”
Maurice Bisetto will act as interim CEO while the Club finalises its search for Mattiske’s successor.
