Overview

  • The 49ers announced Al Guido’s elevation from team president to chief executive officer on Feb. 2 as Super Bowl LX week begins in Santa Clara.
  • Owner Jed York remains deeply involved, with Guido, general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan continuing to report directly to him.
  • Football operations are unchanged, with Lynch and Shanahan still leading roster and on-field decisions under York’s oversight.
  • Levi’s Stadium is set to host Super Bowl 60 and six FIFA World Cup matches in 2026, becoming the first venue to stage both events in the same year.
  • Guido joined the 49ers as COO in 2014 before a decade as president and also chairs consulting firm Elevate; Sportico pegs the franchise at $8.6 billion with the York family holding roughly 85% ownership after recent minority stake sales.
