Chelsea have been linked with former Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards as Todd Boehly reshapes his backroom staff at Stamford Bridge.
Edwards left Liverpool at the end of the 2021/22 season after helping the Reds reach the top of English and European football. The 42-year-old moved to Anfield from Tottenham in 2011 and played a key role in the club appointing Jurgen Klopp as their manager in 2015, before moving into a sporting director role a year later.
According to reports, the Blues are set to approach Edwards to become the new sporting director at Stamford Bridge following Marina Granovskaia's departure. New owner Todd Boehly is in the process of reshaping the club's backroom staff and can still call upon Granovskaia's expertise in a non-official role while the club look for their new long-term sporting director.
