Not reassign. He is already chairman. He was both. He is resigning one position and asking to keep the other. The two are separate positions and do not necessarily have to be occupied by the same person.

Wow, way to botch a news item. See comment above. Plus, Jobs HAD pancreatic cancer, which was treated in 2003. He had a liver transplant in 2009, complications from which are the likely reason. And if you really want to be picky, it was more than a 14-year reign, in total.
