However, there is currently no confirmed announcement from Arsenal that Garlick has stepped down indefinitely. In fact, the latest available information continues to identify him as Arsenal’s CEO, a position he assumed after previously serving as Managing Director.
The speculation comes at a sensitive moment for the Gunners. Arsenal are coming off a historic Premier League title-winning campaign and have entered the new season with huge expectations. Garlick has publicly spoken about the club’s ambition to turn that success into sustained dominance, describing the current period as the potential beginning of a “dynasty.”
At the same time, Arsenal’s transfer strategy has generated debate among supporters, particularly after the club failed to secure some of the high-profile attacking targets fans had hoped to see arrive. Garlick has defended the club’s approach, insisting that Arsenal must conduct its transfer business sensibly rather than force deals simply for the sake of signing players.
