Chelsea Women have parted ways with Paul Green, their former head of women's football.

What happened?

Green was a key figure in the club's success, helping to build a dominant team in England over 12 years. He worked closely with manager Emma Hayes, and together they won seven WSL titles, five FA Cups, and two League Cups.

Why it matters for Chelsea Women

The team's current struggles, including a 5-1 loss to Manchester City, have highlighted the importance of Green's role. Karen Carney, a former Chelsea player, says the team is unrecognisable without him. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | WSL titles won | 7 | | FA Cups won | 5 | | League Cups won | 2 |

What comes next?

Chelsea Women will have to rebuild without Green, and the transition will be challenging. The team is nine points behind Manchester City in the WSL table, and they will have to make significant changes in the summer. Sonia Bompastor, the current manager, will have to find a way to replace Green's expertise and knowledge. The club's model, which was built on winning and evolving the team, will have to be adapted to the new circumstances. And the players will have to adjust to a new style of play, as they try to regain their dominance in the WSL.
