Chelsea women's football in crisis mode after departure of influential head. The Blues have parted ways with their highly respected head of women's football, Paul Green, sending shockwaves through the club and beyond.
Since joining Chelsea in 2013, Green has played a pivotal role in shaping the team into the powerhouse it is today. His partnership with Emma Hayes has been instrumental in taking the women's team to unprecedented heights, winning an impressive 19 trophies, including eight league titles and six FA Cups. The duo worked tirelessly to create a robust recruitment strategy that has allowed Chelsea Women to stay ahead of their domestic rivals.
Green's departure comes as no surprise given his increased impeded role within the club in recent times. With co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley taking on more responsibility for the women's team, it appears Green's influence has been subtly curtailed. The loss of his experience and guidance marks a significant shift at Chelsea.
The news follows a tumultuous period for the club, with manager Sonia Bompastor facing criticism from fans after back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Arsenal. However, the Blues' statement praising Green's dedication and service over more than a decade is a poignant reminder of his lasting impact on the team.
Sam Kerr, who has worked under Green, expressed her gratitude for his influence on social media, stating that he would be "a big loss" for the club. The timing of Green's departure also raises questions about the future stability and success of Chelsea Women.
