All eyes will now be on who will succeed Abramovich’s great ally as the natural successor. According to the same Bild article, Atletico Madrid’s Andrea Berta is being considered by the new owners as the perfect choice ahead of Monaco’s Paul Mitchell, although no final decision has been made.
It is clear that the news would disappoint Thomas Tuchel, the men’s first team manager, who is said to have a good connection with Granovskaia. Following the announcement of Chelsea’s penalties earlier this season, the German made it plain what he intends to happen with certain members of the board.
In a news conference, he stated: “This is not something I would choose. This is a component of it. I can only say that up until now, we’ve had an amazing connection that has enabled me and, ideally, the two others to make these choices and get updates in a limited circle of communication and accountability.
“I hope it stays that way, but I have no control over it and no way of knowing whether it will.”
