Thomas Tuchel was handed the keys to Chelsea on Wednesday after they finally confirmed that Marina Granovskaia is leaving.
Blues boss Tuchel will be granted much more power over recruitment now that the club's chief transfer negotiator is stepping down. And he is under pressure to get things right with £97.5million flop Romelu Lukaku about to seal a loan return to Inter Milan.
Chelsea will receive less than £10m in loan fees from Inter for the Belgium star, whose departure has been given the green light and should be officially announced within days. He scored just eight Premier League goals for the Blues last season.
