Burnett to step down as Kick It Out CEO
Tiny Burnett

KICK IT OUT CEO Tony Burnett is planning to retire from the sport’s anti-discrimination organisation, he has announced.

Mr Burnett, who has been in the role for three years, called time on the job to spend more time with his family and other passions.

Kick It Out said that while it was “disappointed to lose such an outstanding and humble leader who has made a huge difference to the organisation, we understand his desire to hang up his boots. They will be big ones to fill and we thank him dearly for his wisdom and direction at a key time.”
