Getting a new DOF as important as anything else this summer – Talk Chelsea

New Chelsea proprietor Todd Boehly has turn out to be the jack of all trades on the membership, he’s actually doing all of it, at the least for this summer season anyway.

Boehly was formally confirmed as the brand new Chelsea chairman this week, a job that he all the time seemingly had in his head that he can be doing as soon as he and his consortium had turn out to be the brand new house owners of the membership.

However not solely that, in the identical announcement it was confirmed that Boehly may also be the interim sporting director on the membership, with Marina Granovskaia leaving. That is nice, and I really like his ardour and laborious work for it already, that’s admirable. Nonetheless, a brand new director of soccer needs to be as an necessary precedence this summer season as the rest.

Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel, and Boehly himself, all want a soccer minded professional with expertise to come back in and work alongside the recruitment staff, the scouts, and the supervisor, to make it possible for we proceed to make the suitable footballing choices within the switch market, and in-house with contracts and academy gamers. That is vastly necessary.

With respect to Tuchel, he’s a head coach at the start and he won’t have the time to go round scouting new skills. Boehly, with respect, is a really sensible businessman and he will probably be superb for this membership, however he doesn’t have ANY expertise in soccer in any respect.

I genuinely consider a brand new sporting director will probably be purchased in as nicely as a result of as I simply mentioned, Boehly is a really sensible man and he is aware of that the membership will want a brand new DOF sooner quite than later.
