Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich says he is \u201cgiving trustees of Chelsea\u2019s charitable foundation the stewardship and care\u201d of the club. The Russian Billionaire has been in the spotlight since Russia\u2019s Invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Abramovich, who will remain the club\u2019s owner, has made the move amid Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. The decision also comes a day before Chelsea play Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always taken decisions with the club\u2019s best interest at heart,\u201d said Abramovich in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of Chelsea\u2019s charitable Foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC.\u201cI believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the club, players, staff, and fans.\u201d Abramovich is one of Russia\u2019s richest people and believed to be close to Russian president Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cDuring my nearly 20-year ownership of Chelsea FC, I have always viewed my role as a custodian of the club, whose job it is ensuring that we are as successful as we can be today, as well as build for the future, while also playing a positive role in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not known yet if Abramovich will be sanctioned as part of the UK government\u2019s measures against Russia.BBC Sport understands Chelsea are not for sale, and the \u00a31.5bn loan their owner gave to the club is not being called in.<\/p>\n
