Chelsea are set to take a leaf from the books of some of Europe's biggest sides this summer, with Todd Boehly keen to transform the west London club. The likes of AC Milan, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have former players acting as technical directors to offer balance in the boardroom amid transfer talks, and the Blues could soon follow suit.
The American-led consortium, spearheaded by the LA Dodgers co-owner and investment firm Clearlake Capital, will consider adding a former player to the club's board after completing the £4.25billion takeover of Chelsea on Monday, according to the MailOnline. The west London side's new-look hierarchy is expected to be made up of Boehly and his business partner Mark Walter, Clearlake co-founder Behdad Eghbali and Swiss businessman Hansjorg Wyss.
Boehly is also set to appoint fan representation on the board with Daniel Finkelstein and music broker Barbara Charone to take up non-executive roles. The report outlines that adding a former player is apart of the new ownership group's plans.
