Chelsea have confirmed the appointment of Casper Stylsvig as the club's new Chief Revenue Officer.
Stylsvig spent three years at Fulham as Chief Revenue Officer, and eight years as Manchester United’s Global Sponsorship Director, after starting his career in football at FC Barcelona.
He would then move to AC Milan where he was instrumental in rebuilding the club's brand with the launch of Media House, The Studios, doubling commercial revenues.
The average attendance at San Siro was around 72,000 last year, while the club recorded a record-high in retail sales.
More than 40 partnerships were also added at Milan during Stylsvig’s management, including the PUMA renewal worth €30million-a-year.
“I’m delighted to be joining Chelsea at a hugely exciting time for the club.” Stylsvig told the club's offical website.
“I’m looking forward to working with talented colleagues as part of the world-class team that has been built at Chelsea.”
Chelsea FC CEO Chris Jurasek added: “Casper is a great addition to our leadership team, bringing extensive commercial and football experience to his role. I’m very pleased to welcome him to Chelsea.”
