For the past 19 years, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has been controlling all activities at Chelsea and the Premier League club has won five topflight titles under him.

Why is Roman Abramovich selling Chelsea?

Roman Abramovich decided to put Chelsea up for sale because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine which has killed many people in the last couple of days.

The Russian billionaire has been attacked on social media because of his refusal to talk on the conflict and there are also talks that Chelsea should be seized from him.

When did Roman Abramovich buy Chelsea?

In 2003, Ken Bates decided to sell Chelsea after buying Leeds United and Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the Premier League campaigners.

Strange message Abramovich used to send to Ancelotti after every game at Chelsea finally disclosed

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how fresh revelation emerged claiming that outgoing Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich used to check Carlo Ancelotti's work when sending him question mark after any game lost.

The Russian would then send a question mark asking Ancelotti to explain reason for the defeat.

In 2009 after leaving Italian side AC Milan, Carlo Ancelotti was appointed as Chelsea coach by Roman Abramovich with the mandate to win titles for the Stamford Bridge landlords.

Carlo Ancelotti then bagged the Premier League and FA Cup in the same season before being ruthlessly sacked in 2011 by the Russian billionaire.

Journalist Fabio Caressa claimed that he was told by Carlo Ancelotti what Roman Abramovich used to send.
