Chelsea announces the exit of Paul Green, Head of Women’s Football.
Chelsea has announced the exit of Paul Green, the Head of Women’s Football, following a 13-year tenure.
Green became part of Chelsea during the club’s early development and played a crucial role in bringing former manager Emma Hayes to the organization, overseeing her growth during a 12-year period.
Under his leadership, the club secured 19 titles, which included eight league championships and six FA Cups.
A statement from the club noted: “His dedication, expertise, and professionalism have been appreciated throughout the club, and his contributions have facilitated a sustained era of success.”
Last week, Chelsea experienced their first consecutive defeats, suffering a 5-1 loss to Manchester City following a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal.
The club granted manager Sonia Bompastor a contract extension until 2030, as her previous agreement was set to end in 2028.

Sporting Directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley stated: “Her influence has been both immediate and substantial, and the standards she establishes reflect precisely what we aim for this club to embody. Sonia is not only a vital component in driving our current success but also a key figure in the long-term vision we are constructing.”
Sources informed ESPN that Bompastor has the club’s full support.
Changes behind the scenes were underway prior to the announcement of her contract extension, with the club contemplating a different direction.
