Former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich celebrated his 60th birthday on Saturday, 24 October, the same day the Blues suffered an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to Tottenham.
The billionaire’s 19-year spell at Stamford Bridge came to an end in 2022 after the UK government sanctioned him following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Chelsea were then taken over by a consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, ushering in a new era at the club.
Despite his controversial departure, Chelsea supporters remain fond of Abramovich for his success, which included five Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies. Marina Granovskaia worked closely with Abramovich at Stamford Bridge and became one of the club’s most influential figures.
