Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has reacted to the club’s decision to appoint Chris Jurasek as the Blues’ new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Chelsea had earlier on Tuesday appointed Jurasek as CEO.

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

Reacting, Boehly described Jurasek’s appointment as a fantastic addition to Chelsea.

Boehly, alongside Chelsea’s other co-owners, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, said, as quoted by the club’s official website: “Chris is an outstanding executive who will add significant value to Chelsea.

“A collaborative and senior leader with experience across a diverse range of companies, Chris is a fantastic addition to our team.”
