Granovskaia will remain at Chelsea under the new owner

Apart from the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, which monopolizes most of the spotlights, Chelsea will live this Friday a crucial moment for their future.

The final decision will be known at the end of April and will return Chelsea to normal after the British government froze their accounts by sanctioning Roman Abramovich on March 10. From that moment on, the uncertainty in the entity has been growing, especially when referring to the continuity of Marina Granovskaia, the general director of the club for more than a decade.

Nevertheless, According to The Athletic, all the possible buyers of the club have expressed their desire to keep Granovskaia, in the event that they are victorious. The board was recently named the best manager of a European club by Tuttosport magazine and is responsible for closing the majority of contract and transfer negotiations at Chelsea.
