Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has stepped aside from his role as the owner of the football club for the moment.
This is coming after he was accused of supporting and enabling Russian president Putin and was barred from entering the UK. Many have also called for the seizure of his properties in the country.
As seen on the twitter handle of renowned football journalist @FabrizioRomano, His statement reads:
“I am today giving trustees of Chelsea’s charitable Foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC.
I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the Club, players, staff, and fans”.
