Sarvar Ismailov is stepping down from his various roles in Everton’s hierarchy.
Ismailov, 26, arrived at Goodison Park in 2019 as a commercial consultant before becoming sporting and commercial director of the women’s team.
He was elevated to a boardroom position in July as majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri’s representative, succeeding an outgoing Sasha Ryazantsev.
But Ismailov, the nephew of Moshiri’s long-term business associate Alisher Usmanov, left the Blues on Tuesday due to personal and health grounds.
“Everton Football Club can confirm that Sarvar Ismailov has stepped down from his duties for personal and health reasons,” read a club statement.
“He has resigned from the club’s Board of Directors and the positions of Owner’s Executive Representative and Sporting and Commercial Director at Everton Women.
“The decision was taken by Mr Ismailov and is effective immediately.”
Ismailov departs just days after playing a key role in Everton securing the services of Women’s Champions League-winning coach Jean-Luc Vasseur.
