Chelsea has appointed Chris Jurasek as their new chief executive.

Chelsea disclosed this in a statement via its website on Tuesday.

“Jurasek will take responsibility for all the business areas of the club and will report to the board alongside co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, who will remain responsible for all the sporting activities of the club,” Chelsea’s statement read.

Jurasek’s arrival coincided with Tom Glick’s resignation as president of business.

Reacting to his appointment, 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.”
