Glick, who was previously Manchester City’s chief commercial and operating officer, is to take on a senior executive role at Stamford Bridge under American owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. The appointment comes after three of former owner Roman Abramovich’s closest aides: Marina Granovskaia, Bruce Buck and Petr Cech left the club.
