Paul Green has left his role as Chelsea's head of women's football after 13 years at the Women's Super League club. Green worked closely with former manager Emma Hayes, helping her deliver five successive WSL titles and reach a first Women's Champions League final. He acted as interim manager in Hayes' absence in 2022 when she had emergency hysterectomy surgery, and has led recruitment across a number of successful transfer windows. The club said Green "played a significant role in the development and growth of the women's programme" and "contributed to the establishment of strong foundations and the evolution of Chelsea Women into one of the leading teams in the domestic and European game". Chelsea have won 19 trophies during Green's spell at the club, but it is believed his role started to change when the women's team was restructured in 2024.
