In January 2021, president Morris Pagniello signed former Real Madrid star Royston Drente.[3] In January 2022, Indo-Canadian businessman and former sportsman Steve Nijaar was announced as the new president. Jose Montelogo was announced as the new chairman of the club and new partner of Racing City Group after the 2022-23 season.
