Abramovich is leaving Chelsea’s presidency for good, the Premier League has announced
After the British government imposed severe sanctions on Roman Abramovich, it was the Premier League’s turn to oust the Russian cross and the organizing authority announced the end of his Chelsea presidency.
Roman Abramovich’s season at Chelsea is a breath of fresh air to reach the final as after the UK government’s sanctions put the club’s sale on hold, another ‘blow’ to the Russian tycoon came on Saturday afternoon.
This came from the side of the Premier League, with the English league’s governing body saying in a statement that it is stripping Abramovich of the opportunity to lead the Blues as their president after sanctions were lifted against him over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine were imposed.
The Premier League Council has ruled out Roman Abramovich as director of Chelsea Football Club following the imposition of sanctions by the UK government.
The board’s decision does not affect the club’s ability to coach and play its games as defined in the terms of the government-issued license, which expires on May 31, 2022. says the Premier League announcement.
