Four different men have occupied the Stamford Bridge hot seat during Todd Boehly’s debut season as co-owner, which will end with Chelsea earning their lowest Premier League points total in modern history.

The club have now taken the decision to bin their in-person awards evening.

Gongs for men’s player of the season, academy player of the season and goal of the season will given out before their final game of the season at home against Newcastle instead.

Chelsea have not held an in-person end of season award ceremony since 2019.
