Todd Boehly Chelsea major changes clear amid Christoph Freund talks and failed executive pursuit

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has started to make major changes behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge following Graham Potter's appointment as Head coach.

It's been a hectic start to life in west London for Boehly after a summer transfer window in which the Blues spent close to £300million, before taking the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel just seven games into the new season. Chelsea are set for plenty more changes in the coming weeks as the American owner looks to add strong additions to the boardroom.

Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia both departed the club following Boehly's £4billion takeover at Stamford Bridge and the Blues' hierarchy are now looking for a new director of football and chief executive. Boehly is understood to be a huge admirer or Red Bull's model with the Chelsea owner having discussed his plans to follow the Red Bull and Manchester City example of investing in a number of clubs worldwide to grow the Blues' brand and help source and develop talented youngsters that could play a key role in future success.
