Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is set to leave the club this summer, according to The Telegraph. It comes after nine-years since the 47-year-old was appointed to the board by former owner Roman Abramovich.
It would be the second potential huge exit at Stamford Bridge this summer, following news chairman Bruce Buck is to step down from his role at the end of June. The two were key staples of the Abramovich era, often pictured with the Russian during his time at the club, and were huge drivers for the success that was seen.
However, with the Todd Boehly era now in full flow it appears as though the tough decisions have been made, with Buck confirming that he will stay on as an advisor, though Granovskaia's role is still yet to be confirmed. Her ties to the club began with the former chairman back in 1997 with Russian oil company Sibneft, where she acted as his personal assistant, before moving to London upon the purchase of Chelsea in 2003.
