'A very difficult decision': Glasgow lose key figure

NEWS: Glasgow Warriors Managing Director Kenny Brown will step down from his role at the end of December 2026, bringing his eight-year association with the club to a close.

Brown, 45, has been part of Glasgow Warriors since 2018. He will depart to take up a new opportunity with his family in Australia, leaving with the club in a strong position both on and off the pitch.

“Leaving Glasgow Warriors has been a very difficult decision for me to make,” said Brown.

“Over the last seven years, I have loved my time at the club. Growing up in the west of Scotland, I have always had a real passion and attachment to Glasgow Warriors which will stay with me forever.

“I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved during my time here. Glasgow Warriors is in a strong position, with a talented squad and a group of people working tirelessly behind the scenes to help the club succeed.

“It has been a real team effort, and I have relied on the support of our players, coaches, staff, commercial partners and supporters throughout my time here. I want to thank everyone for their commitment and hard work, and for making Glasgow Warriors such a special club to be part of.

“While I am excited about what lies ahead for my family and me, I will leave with enormous pride in what we have accomplished together and will always look back on my time at Glasgow Warriors with great affection.”

Brown joined Glasgow Warriors in 2018, having previously held roles with Scottish Rugby, sportscotland and Premiership Rugby. He became Team Manager in 2019 before progressing to Head of Operations in 2021.

He was appointed interim Managing Director in September 2025 following Al Kellock’s departure to become Scottish Rugby Head of Performance Pathways, before being confirmed in the role on a permanent basis in March 2026.

His tenure has seen Glasgow Warriors reach the top of the United Rugby Championship standings and complete a perfect Investec Champions Cup pool stage. He has also overseen the successful delivery of the club’s home 1872 Cup fixture at Hampden Park, as well as Glasgow’s temporary displacement from Scotstoun and its subsequent return following the stadium’s use for the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Franco Smith said: “Kenny has been a tremendous support to me and the coaching team, and I have really valued the relationship we have built over the last few years.

“He understands the demands of professional rugby and the importance of creating the right environment for our players and staff to perform. He has always been committed to helping the team and the wider club achieve its ambitions, and I am grateful for everything he has done to support us.

“Of course, we are disappointed to be losing Kenny, but this is an exciting opportunity for him and his family, and we wish them every happiness as they begin this next chapter. He leaves with our very best wishes and with the respect and affection of everyone at the club.”

Scottish Rugby Interim CEO David White added: “Kenny has made a significant contribution to Glasgow Warriors over many years, and his appointment as Managing Director was a natural progression following his outstanding service to the club in a number of roles.

“While we will be sorry to see Kenny leave, we are fully supportive of his decision and want to see our people take opportunities that are right for them and their families. That is an important part of the culture we want to build across Scottish Rugby, and we wish Kenny and his family every happiness as they start this next chapter.”

The club will work closely with Brown over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition ahead of his departure at the end of December. Further details on recruitment for his successor will be communicated in due course.
