Chelsea also confirmed chairman Bruce Buck's departure on Monday after 19 years as chairman, with Boehly replacing him in the role. Buck will continue to support the club as a senior advisor.

"I am proud to have helped Chelsea realize great success on the pitch and make a positive impact in the community," said Buck.

"Now is the right time to step down and let new ownership build on the strong foundations we have in place. The owners have a compelling vision for Chelsea's future, and I look forward to helping them achieve it in this new role alongside our incredible staff, players, coaches and supporters."

Boehly added: "Bruce has led Chelsea Football Club to the highest levels of international and domestic football, while also developing one of the most active social responsibility projects in sport.

"We thank Bruce for his service and his commitment to the club."
