Chelsea have been granted a special licence to operate on footballing grounds after the UK government passed sanctions on its owner, Roman Abramovich. The British government officially added Abramovich to its list of sanctioned individuals on Thursday morning.
It was a disaster of epic proportions for Paris Saint-Germain, but it was also nothing new.
Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich cannot benefit from any sale of the club, Britain's minister in charge of sport, Nadine Dorries said on Thursday. "If the club is sold, Abramovich will not benefit," Dorries told reporters.
The future of European champions Chelsea has been plunged into doubt after Russian owner Roman Abramovich was hit with UK government sanctions in response to the invasion of Ukraine. Abramovich has bankrolled the most successful era in the Blues' history since taking charge in 2003 -- the club have won five Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues among 19 major trophies. The billionaire -- described by the UK government as part of Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle -- had already signalled his intent to sell Chelsea due to the looming threat of sanctions. UK Culture Secretary Nadine Dorris said the priority was to "hold those who have enabled the Putin regime to account".
Tras la dimisión de Javier Baraja —hermano de otro ilustre como Rubén—, el brasileño promocionó desde el equipo juvenil blanquivioleta, asumiendo así su primera experiencia importante al frente de un banquillo. Sevilla, Málaga, Real Madrid, Arsenal o Roma fueron algunos de los equipos de Julio Baptista (40 años) que fue internacional con Brasil en 48 ocasiones y cuenta en su palmarés con dos Copas América, dos Copas Confederación, una Liga y una Supercopa de España, entre otros títulos. Encuadrados en el grupo 1 de la Primera RFEF, el equipo dirigido por Baptista se encuentra en puestos de descenso.
The news Chelsea and their fans were dreading was confirmed this morning as Roman Abramovich was named as one of the Russian oligarchs sanctioned by the UK government for his links to Russian leader Vladimir Putin amid the current war in Ukraine.
It is less than 10 years since Roman Abramovich hoisted the most prized trophy in club football above his head as thousands of adoring - and grateful - Chelsea fans celebrated wildly at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
The club in recent years has struggled to maintain some of their brightest talents coming through the academy.
