Chelsea have revealed the makeup of their new board, with Todd Boehly taking over from Bruce Buck as chairman, and have confirmed Marina Granovskaia’s departure.
Granovskaia’s exit underlines the change at Stamford Bridge since Roman Abramovich sold the club to a consortium fronted by Boehly and Clearlake Capital less than a month ago. The Russian-Canadian executive had in effect run Chelsea on Abramovich’s behalf in recent years and was responsible for looking after transfers and player contracts. She is close with the head coach, Thomas Tuchel, and has a reputation as a tough negotiator with agents and clubs.
