Chelsea FC has announced a significant shift in its ownership structure, with Clearlake Capital Group acquiring Todd Boehly and Mark Walter's stakes, thereby gaining full control of the club. Hansjörg Wyss will continue to be a shareholder and partner within the ownership group. As part of the agreement, Boehly will relinquish his position as Chelsea chairman, expressing gratitude to everyone who contributed to the club's promising future, including the English Premier League, coaching and playing staff, executive team, employees, and fans.

Clearlake Capital Group intends to adhere to the path established in recent years, continuing to invest in Chelsea's infrastructure, performance, and player development.
