Chelsea chairman leaves club after selling ownership stake
Clearlake Capital will take full control and says there will be no changes to day-to-day operations, leadership or strategy.
- On Wednesday, Todd Boehly and Mark Walter sold their stakes in Chelsea Football Club to majority owner Clearlake Capital, granting the private equity firm full control of the English Premier League club.
- Boehly and Clearlake's relationship soured over recent years amid disagreements on Stamford Bridge development, leading each side to pursue a buyout in 2024.
- Valuing Chelsea at $5 billion, the deal provides Boehly and Walter $1.3 billion for their combined stakes, according to The Financial Times; Swiss philanthropist Hansjorg Wyss remains a partner.
- Boehly will vacate his role as chairman, a position he held since 2022. "It has been an honour to serve as Chairman of Chelsea Football Club," he said.
- With Clearlake now in full control, Chelsea confirmed there will be no changes to day-to-day operations or strategy. The situation may soon accelerate, marking a new chapter for the English Premier League club.
