Chelsea hasn't had a director of football or sporting director since 2017 when Michael Emenalo shockingly stepped down from his position.
Emenalo was a vital cog in Chelsea's recruitment process and the relationship between the head coach and the club's hierarchy.
It has been over four years, and the position has not been replaced. Petr Cech took up the technical and performance advisor role in 2019, following his retirement from football.
