Chelsea confirmed on Wednesday morning that Marina Granovskaia had left her role as the Club's director in a major reshuffle in the boardroom at Stamford Bridge. Granovskaia was brought in alongside Roman Abramovich in 2003 but has now ended her 19-year association with the Blues.
"The announcement includes the departure of Marina Granovskaia, director of Chelsea FC," a statement on the Club's website read. "Boehly will operate as interim sporting director until the Club names a full-time replacement, continuing the Club's work towards its targets during the current transfer window.
"Chelsea FC and Ms. Granovskaia have agreed that she will remain available to Boehly and the Club for the duration of the current transfer window, to the extent required to support the transition."
