Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich hands over control of Chelsea to football club’s trustees
- The move came after a member of the British parliament called for the Russian billionaire to hand over the club in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
- Abramovich, who has owned Chelsea since 2003, made no mention of the Ukraine invasion in his handover statement
