Chelsea confirms Granovskaya’s departure from directorship

The Russian has been in charge of the club’s transfers since 2013.

Chelsea confirmed the departure Marina Granovskaya as club director.

Temporary sports director until the appointment of a new specialist will be the new owner of the club, American Todd Boeli.

Granovskaya left Stamford Bridge following Blues chairman Bruce Buck.

The Russian came to the club in 2003, after its acquisition by Roman Abramovich. In 2013, Granovskaya began to manage the transfers and contracts of football players.

In May, a consortium led by Boeli paid more than $5 billion for the club, including guarantees of future investment in the club. Abramovich was forced to sell the club due to sanctions imposed on the oligarch due to his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the invasion of Ukraine.

Chelsea finished third in the Premier League last season and will play in the Champions League group stage.
