Todd Boehly has stepped down as chairman of Chelsea, bringing an end to his tenure in the role amid a period of significant change at the Premier League club.

Boehly, who is also co-owner of Chelsea, took over as chairman after the consortium led by him and Clearlake Capital completed the purchase of the club in 2022.

During his time as chairman, Chelsea underwent major changes both on and off the pitch, including significant investment in the squad and changes to the club’s managerial structure.

Boehly’s departure from the chairmanship does not necessarily mean he is leaving Chelsea altogether. He remains part of the club’s ownership structure.

The leadership change comes as Chelsea continue efforts to establish greater stability following several seasons of managerial changes and substantial spending on players.

The club’s ownership group has previously indicated that responsibilities would be shared among its senior leadership, with changes to the chairmanship forming part of its wider governance structure.

Further details about Boehly’s successor and the timing of the transition are expected to clarify the next phase of Chelsea’s leadership.
