Chelsea have appointed Chris Jurasek as chief executive officer of the club as Tom Glick departs as president of business. The latter is said to have stepped down to pursue opportunities but will work closely with Jurasek to help the transition before leaving the side.
Glick was one of the first appointments following last summer's takeover and joined in July 2022 where he assumed responsibility for day-to-day operations, including managing global commercial strategy, revenue growth and enhancing fan engagement. The focus of Jurasek will be to take responsibility for all the business areas of the club. He will report to the board alongside co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
Jurasek said: "I’m delighted to be joining Chelsea, a club which is loved and followed all over the world. I’m enormously proud to be leading it into the next chapter in its rich history. We have huge opportunities to grow on and off the pitch and to engage our exceptional fans both in London and wherever they are supporting us from. I’m looking forward to working closely with our owners, leadership and everyone around the club."
