The emergence of Todd Boehly as new Chelsea owner has seen a lot of high-profile Chelsea staff leave the club.
A total of seven officials have hit the Blues’ exit door so far with Claude Makelele becoming the latest name to make the list.
Before Claude Makelele’s departure, Bruno Saltor was the first official to leave under Mauricio Pochettino era and the sixth to quit since Todd Boehly took over as new owner.
Below is a list of all the seven officials that have left the club since Todd Boehly became new owner;
- Claude Makelele: Technical advisor
- Bruno Saltor: First-team coach
- Jason Griffin: Head groundsman
- Reisse Griffin: Assistant head groundsman
- Petr Cech: Technical and performance advisor
- Marina Granovskaia: Director
- Bruce Buck: Chairman
The departures of Makelele and Saltor have been particularly significant, as they were both highly respected members of the coaching staff. Makelele was a club legend, and Saltor was known for his work with young players.
The departures of Griffin and Griffin are also notable, as they were responsible for maintaining the pitch at Stamford Bridge. The pitch is one of the best in the world, and it is essential for Chelsea’s success.
The departures of Cech, Granovskaia, and Buck are all part of a wider overhaul of the club’s management structure. Boehly has brought in his own team of people, and he is looking to create a new culture at the club.
It is still too early to say what the impact of these departures will be. However, it is clear that Boehly is determined to make changes at Chelsea. He is looking to create a more modern and efficient club, and he is willing to make tough decisions to achieve his goals.
