Chelsea Football Club announced the departure of CEO Chris Jurasek, who will be returning to Clearlake Capital, the club’s co-controlling owners. Jurasek’s tenure was marked by controversial decisions, including referring to fans as customers and ending a long-standing bus subsidy for away supporters. He will be replaced by Jason Gannon.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Chelsea’s new owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, will eventually lead the Blues to success. Despite investing over a billion pounds since their takeover, Chelsea has yet to win a trophy and is set to miss out on Champions League qualification. However, Arteta points to Chelsea’s spending and the presence of manager Mauricio Pochettino as reasons for his optimism.
