Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly reportedly plans to scale back his involvement in the club, according to reports.
Bloomberg claims that Boehly is now spending less time on the club's day-to-day running having previously been more involved in the aftermath of the takeover of Chelsea that saw him assume control last year. Boehly and co-owners Clearlake Capital took over at Stamford Bridge, along with Hansjoerg Wyss and Mark Walter, when Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale last year.
Boehly became the club's interim sporting director upon his arrival and the Blues have since spent £600 million on transfers. Chelsea have parted ways with Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter since the takeover and will end the season with Frank Lampard in interim charge.

A mid-table Premier League finish is the best the Blues can hope for with only one game to go this season with the club on track for its worst campaign in nearly 30 years. Boehly and Clearlake are also set to miss out on valuable funds from European competition and according to Bloomberg, he admitted at a private event last month that 'mistakes had been made'.
"We very much believe that we're going to figure it out," Boehly said earlier this month. "We've got the best league in the world, we've got what I think is the top city in the world and we've got an unbelievable location in the top city in the world.
"It's the most strategically placed city in the world, you can get anywhere from London quickly. You know they want to win and we get that, we want to win so you know I think our view though was that this is a long-term project and you know we're committed to the long-term."
Boehly and Clearlake are heading into a huge summer with Mauricio Pochettino expected to become the club's new manager. The Argentine former Tottenham Hotspur boss is Chelsea's top target.
