Chelsea have announced a number of changes to the club’s hierarchy, with Marina Granovskaia stepping down as Director at the club.
At the end of May, a consortium led by Todd Boehly were confirmed as the new owners of the Blues, officially ending the 19-year reign of Roman Abramovich.
Granovskaia has effectively run Chelsea for Roman Abramovich for almost a decade but will leave her role as part of a major shake-up at Stamford Bridge.
The 47-year-old is the latest big name exit after Chelsea announced earlier this week that that Bruce Buck would be standing down from his role as chairman.
The Premier League club have now announced that director Marina Granovskaia – an influential figure behind the scenes and somehow who has played a key role with transfers in and out of Stamford Bridge – will be departing her position.
Chelsea have added that Boehly will now take on the role of interim sporting director, assisted by Granovskaia throughout the summer transfer window while a long-term replacement is found.
