During Buck's chairmanship, Chelsea solidified its position as one of the
world's elite football clubs and a globally recognised brand followed by
millions. In that time, the men's team earned 18 major trophies (more than
any other English club) while Chelsea FC Women won 12 major trophies.
The Club also grew its commercial revenues significantly, established
world class training facilities at Cobham, and developed one of the best
youth academies in football. In 2010, Buck, as Trustee and Chairman,
helped establish The Chelsea FC Foundation, which supports a broad range
of initiatives including increasing access to youth athletics, hosting
education and employment programmes, and leading anti-discrimination
campaigns.
'I am proud to have helped Chelsea realize great success on the pitch and
make a positive impact in the community,' said Buck. 'Now is the right
time to step down and let new ownership build on the strong foundations we
have in place. The owners have a compelling vision for Chelsea's future,
and I look forward to helping them achieve it in this new role alongside
our incredible staff, players, coaches and supporters.'
'Bruce has led Chelsea Football Club to the highest levels of
international and domestic football, while also developing one of the most
active social responsibility projects in sport,' said Todd Boehly, Chelsea
Football Club co-controlling owner. 'We thank Bruce for his service and
his commitment to the Club.'
