Since Abramovich's arrival in 2003, Chelsea have been one of the most successful teams in the world having won 19 major trophies in that time.
Blues manager Thomas Tuchel was employed under Abramovich's ownership and naturally, questions have been asked about his future as well as the club's summer transfer plans.
Tuchel insists he is committed to Chelsea for the long-term however.
He explained ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley per Sky Sports: "No, the opposite of a problem staying here.
"I said many times that I love working in the Premier League, I love to be in England and feel the tradition and the love for sports in general and football in particular. It's an amazing place to be.
"Chelsea is, for me, the perfect fit. I love to be here, I love everything about the club and hopefully it continues."
