Chelsea have continued the rebuild of their recruitment department by appointing Monaco’s Laurence Stewart as technical director and are also looking to poach Brighton & Hove Albion’s head of recruitment, Paul Winstanley.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have been making changes to Chelsea’s infrastructure since buying the club in May and are looking to build a strong recruitment team around the head coach, Graham Potter. Christopher Vivell, who was fired by RB Leizpig last month, is poised to join in a technical director-style role and Joe Shields is due to arrive as co-director of recruitment once he has seen out his gardening leave at Southampton.
