Jed York, CEO of the San Francisco 49ers, is poised to become the principal owner of the team after acquiring sufficient equity from his mother, Denise DeBartolo York. This move will solidify his position as the team’s owner, giving him control over its operations. The league is expected to approve this change in ownership this week.
At 43 years old, York has been the CEO of the 49ers since 2010 and will now have the opportunity to continue leading the team indefinitely. Despite not achieving the same level of success as his uncle, who oversaw five Super Bowl victories for the team, York has led the 49ers to three Super Bowls, albeit without winning any. Under his leadership, the 49ers have overcome periods of dysfunction and have seen success under the coaching of Kyle Shanahan since 2017. Shanahan has led the team to two Super Bowl appearances and four playoff appearances in total.
York’s ownership of the team represents a new chapter in its history, with the potential for continued success under his guidance. With control over its operations and a track record of success under his leadership, York is set to lead the 49ers into an exciting future on and off the field.
