Chelsea say the successful candidates, who will attend four board meetings each year, will not be given any voting rights but will be present to offer advice on a "broad range of matters".

Chelsea have decided to include fans in board meetings from July 1 to ensure "supporter sentiment" is considered in decision-making.
The Blues were among the 'Big Six' Premier League clubs to face backlash from supporters after announcing themselves as founding members of the now-collapsed European Super League.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovic and the board "deeply regret" their decision to join the breakaway competition, according to a club statement, and are now taking the steps to make it up to the fans.
Three "supporter advisors" will be elected to represent fans on the board, with Chelsea now set to begin consultation with supporter groups to determine the selection process.
