Petr Cech has joined the mass exodus at Chelsea after Todd Boehly’s takeover.
Chelsea have confirmed Petr Cech will leave his role as Technical and Performance Advisor on June 30. Cech is the latest Chelsea figure to quit Stamford Bridge after Todd Boehly’s takeover, following Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia out the exit door.
Boehly had asked the club legend to stay for the summer transfer window, but he informed him that ‘the time was right’ to part ways. Cech joins Buck, Granovskaia, chief executive Guy Laurence and head of goalkeepers Christophe Lollichon in leaving Chelsea in recent months.
Granovskaia appointed the 40-year-old three years ago, and he’s had a significant say in football decisions and recruitment. But the Telegraph claim he made it clear that Chelsea should have kept Romelu Lukaku for another season rather than remarkably loaning him back to Inter Milan – a move that should be confirmed this week.
An official club statement read: “Chelsea Football Club today announces that Petr Cech, Technical and Performance Advisor, will leave his role effective June 30. Since his appointment three years ago, Cech has provided advice and guidance on all football and performance matters throughout the club while strengthening the links between our men’s and Academy teams.”
