Chelsea will be shaking up their leadership in 2027, with a new chairman set to replace Todd Boehly.
In an extraordinary agreement, the club's American co-owners will have the flexibility to pass the chairmanship between themselves every five years, and it seems the time for change is on the horizon at the end of the 2026-27 season.
The choice of the first chairman appears to have been part of a complex agreement linked to potential financial liabilities.

The decision has not been finalized, but Boehly would have the option to return in 2032 if he retains his stake in the club.
According to reports from Daily Mail, "He would then have the option to return in 2032 should he wish to do so and should he retain his stake at Stamford Bridge. He and his group could also look elsewhere."

Chelsea have repeatedly denied any rift between Boehly and Clearlake, emphasizing a professional working relationship. Despite this, the move to change the chairman suggests a desire for improvement within the club.
Boehly, often criticized by supporters and media alike, has faced scrutiny as the public face of the takeover. Meanwhile, Eghbali, though less visible, is considered influential in the club's day-to-day operations.
Chelsea's current performance in the Premier League, coupled with financial losses and a disappointing Carabao Cup Final defeat, has intensified scrutiny. However, despite setbacks, the club remains committed to its long-term vision.
The ownership group's objective remains consistent: to establish Chelsea as a competitive force in domestic and European competitions while driving commercial growth to meet Premier League regulations.
