A new era for Chelsea is firmly underway, and following the announcement of the club's new board, there can be no doubting the future is starting to take shape. Within the statement announcing the changes was the revelation that Marina Granovskaia would depart the club.
The former Blues' Director will remain available 'to the Club for the duration of the current transfer window, to the extent required to support the transition', as Todd Beohly assumes the role of interim-Sporting Director in addition to being the club's Chairman.
The Blues owner has already taken on the task of managing Romelu Lukaku's return to Inter Milan but now has the challenge of manufacturing a successful transfer window and building a relationship with Thomas Tuchel. Boehly will be tackling a new environment in European football, but the coming months could go some way to appreciating the challenge ahead for the permanent replacement he must appoint.
