The club also significantly increased its commercial revenue, set up world-class training facilities in Cobham and developed one of the best youth academies in football. In 2010, Buck, as administrator and president, helped found The Chelsea FC Foundation, which supports a wide range of initiatives, including increasing access to youth sports, hosting training and employment programs, and leading anti-discrimination campaigns. “I am proud to have helped Chelsea achieve great success on the pitch and have a positive impact on the community,” said Buck. “Now is the time to give up and let the new property be built on the solid foundations we have. “The owners have an exciting vision for the future of Chelsea and I look forward to helping them succeed in this new role along with our incredible staff, players, coaches and supporters.” “Bruce has led the Chelsea Football Club to the highest levels of international and domestic football, while at the same time developing one of the most active social responsibility projects in sport,” said Todd Boehly, co-owner of the Chelsea Football Club. “We thank Bruce for his service and commitment to the club.”
