Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck to step down following sale of club

LONDON: Chelsea football club on Monday announced that Bruce Buck, who has served as chairman since 2003, will be stepping down from his role, the club said in a statement. The 76-year-old's role will come to an end on June 30 but he will still support the club as an advisor.

"We thank Bruce for his service and his commitment to the Club," said Boehly. (IANS)
