Thomas Tuchel says Roman Abramovich’s decision to sell Chelsea is a “massive change” for the club that has not sunk in yet. Russian billionaire Abramovich confirmed before Chelsea’s FA Cup win over Luton on Wednesday evening that he would be putting the club up for sale, with proceeds going to the victims of the war in Ukraine. Ad/> Abramovich ushered in a new era for Chelsea and the Premier League when he bought the club in 2003, but his ownership has come under scrutiny following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
