According to Mail Sport, Todd Boehly is slated to step down as Chelsea chairman in 2027 as part of an extraordinary arrangement between the club’s American co-owners. This agreement allows them to rotate the chairmanship every five years, with the first opportunity arising at the end of the 2026/2027 season.
Boehly, despite holding a minority stake, is understood to be the first to step aside under the terms of the group’s takeover. Clearlake Capital, managed by fellow owners Behdad Eghbali and Jose Feliciano, holds a 61.5% share in the club’s holding company, while Boehly shares the remaining 38.5% with Hansjorg Wyss and Mark Walter.
The decision for Boehly to relinquish the chairman role first is believed to be linked to the terms of the 2022 sale agreement, which stipulates that Boehly’s group would be responsible for covering any initial losses in case of a sale or realization.
