The Walt Disney Company announced late Sunday that former Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger will return to his position for two years, effective immediately, less than a year after he retired.

In a press release, the Walt Disney Company Board Of Directors said that Iger, who spent more than 40 years at the company and served as Disney CEO for 15 years, will replace successor Bob Chapek, who has stepped down from the role.
