Chelsea’s Head of Women’s Football, Paul Green, has left his role, ending his 13 years at the club.

Green’s exit comes with the Blues nine points off top spot in the WSL after winning six consecutive titles.

A club statement read: “Paul has spent 13 years at the club, having joined in 2013 during the formative stages of Chelsea Women.

“During that time, he played a significant role in the development and growth of the women’s programme, contributing to the establishment of strong foundations and the evolution of Chelsea Women into one of the leading teams in the domestic and European game.

“His commitment, experience and professionalism have been valued across the club, and his work has helped support a sustained period of success and progress for Chelsea Women during which we won 19 trophies.

“The Club would like to thank Paul for his dedication and service over more than a decade and wishes him well for the future.”
