Tom Glick will step down from his position as president of business, and Chelsea is prepared to name Chris Jurasek as their new chief executive.
The Blues are prepared to sign Jurasek, who works for a business supported by Chelsea’s owners, Clearlake Capital, according to The Times. Although the club has not responded to claims that Glick has quit, he will assume responsibility of the majority of the club’s commercial operations, which means Glick will depart.
Glick was hired by Chelsea after developing his reputation with clubs like Derby County and Manchester City, but after nine months in the position, he is about to step down. The club is expected to finish in the bottom part of the standings; they might possibly go as high as 11th but cannot move higher than that. Owner Todd Boehly is now working to sign Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager.
Boehly has overseen a significant turnover at Chelsea, having fired both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter this season in addition to investing more than £600 million in the team’s male players. Despite Pochettino’s expected appointment this summer, Frank Lampard is still serving as the team’s interim manager.
This season, they still have two games left, one against Newcastle on Sunday and the other against Manchester United on Thursday.
