Millwall has announced James Berylson as their new chairman, succeeding his late father who tragically passed away earlier this month.
John Berylson, an American businessman who had been serving as Millwall chairman since 2007, died in a car accident in the United States on July 4 at the age of 70.
James Berylson, who has been a member of the board of directors at Millwall since 2010, will now step into the role of chairman as the club prepares for the upcoming 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship season.
In a tribute to his father on Millwall’s website, he said: “It is with sincere and immeasurable pride that I take on the chairmanship of this great football club.
“It is what my dad wanted, and I am so thankful for his mentorship since I joined the board of directors in 2010 and blessed by his trust and faith in me.
“This will mark the start of a new era, one in which we will strive to fulfil dad’s legacy.”
