On Wednesday, it became clear.
Chelsea sporting director Marina Granovskaya has left the club.
New owner Todd Buhle takes over temporarily.
Marina Granovskaya was hand-picked for Chelsea as early as 2003 to strengthen the previous owner Roman Abramowitz staff.
Over the past 10 years, Granovskaya has played a key role in developing the club into one of the great powers of football, and has been named the best club manager in the world by 2020.
Among other things, she was behind the sale of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid with one year remaining on the contract and David Luiz’s deal when the club first sold him for a hefty sum and two years later recruited him on the cheap.
On Wednesday, it became clear that she would be leaving the club in connection with the presentation of Chelsea to the next club management.
– We thank Marina for her many years of excellent work for the club and wish her all the best in her future projects, Buhli says in a statement.

Granovskaja’s replacement will be new owner Boehly, until the club finds a new sporting director.
Now we have started to implement our long-term vision for the club. “We want to create a great experience for the club’s passionate and loyal fans and we want to continue the challenge for the big titles,” says Buhli.
In addition to Buhli, the management will consist of seven other people. One of them is Mark Walter, who in addition to being a partner at Chelsea is also a partner at the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Sparks.
