Roman Abramovich remains committed to Chelsea - despite relinquishing control to the club.
The Russian billionaire announced the shock news on Saturday night following his country's invasion of Ukraine.
Abramovich, who bought the West London outfit in 2003, stunned fans on Saturday night as he passed control of the Blues to their six trustees.
Those now overseeing the Champions League holders are chairman Bruce Buck, Women's boss Emma Hayes, head of the National Lottery Sir Hugh Robertson, equality campaigner Piara Powar, lawyer John Devine and director of finance Paul Ramos.
But despite distancing himself from his beloved side he remains owner and can still fund the club as long as he is not sanctioned.
Abramovich has always insisted he has no interest in selling Chelsea, and it is understood nothing has changed, says The Sun.
