Buckley will officially assume her duties in June, positioning her to oversee preparations for the upcoming 2026-27 season.\n\nThis appointment follows a period of transition for the club. The role had been held on an interim basis by Lowri Roberts since December 2025, a period that began immediately after the club's takeover by the investment group Mercury13 was finalized. The change in ownership ended the long-standing stewardship of the Lansdown family, ushering in a new chapter for the women's side.\n\nBuckley arrives with a formidable background in the women's game. Her career includes significant experience working directly with the Women's Super League and the Football Association, the governing body of English football. This deep institutional knowledge is seen as a key asset for a club looking to solidify its position and grow its competitive stature.\n\nThe leadership at Mercury13 has expressed strong confidence in their new hire. Mario Malave, a board director and co-founder of the ownership group, highlighted the specific qualities Buckley brings to the table. He noted her strategic vision, operational excellence, and profound understanding of the women's football landscape as critical components for the club's future.\n\nMalave's comments frame this hire as part of a broader, long-term project. He emphasized that Buckley's leadership will be instrumental in building a club capable of competing at the highest levels for years to come. This suggests the ownership's ambitions extend beyond short-term results, focusing instead on sustainable growth and infrastructure development.\n\nThe context of this leadership change is the club's recent on-field performance. In the 2025-26 campaign, Bristol City Women finished in fourth place in the WSL 2 table. They concluded the season seven points adrift of the automatic promotion places, a gap that underscores the competitive challenge ahead.\n\nThat season was also the first under manager Charlotte Healy, indicating that both the coaching staff and the executive team are relatively new to their roles. This alignment presents a unified front for the club's new direction, with Buckley and Healy tasked with driving progress together.\n\nThe takeover by Mercury13 itself was a pivotal moment, approved in late 2025. It represented a major shift in the club's financial and operational backing, moving from a family-owned model to one supported by an investment group with stated ambitions for growth in women's football.\n\nBuckley's mandate will likely involve translating that investment into tangible progress. Her experience at the league and FA level could prove invaluable in navigating the complexities of club management, from commercial partnerships to player recruitment and academy development.\n\nFor the wider league, this appointment signals the increasing professionalization and ambition within the women's game. Clubs are actively seeking top-tier executive talent to manage growing operations and fan expectations, a trend Buckley's hiring exemplifies.\n\nAs Bristol City Women prepare for the next season, all eyes will be on how this new leadership team shapes the club's identity and competitive edge. The foundation has been laid with new ownership and a new CEO; the next step is building a team that can challenge for promotion.\n\nBased on reporting from BBC Sport.","news","Bristol City Women have named Hannah Buckley as their new CEO, a strategic hire following the Mercury13 takeover.
