We’ve all seen the product of their work on the pitch – it’s the team that’s lost six Premier League games in a row.

Chelsea sporting directors invite rival manager to watch game from their box
“Hosting Tottenham head coach Roberto de Zerbi in Chelsea’s directors’ box on Monday, ostensibly to scout his future opponents, went down poorly with sections of the fanbase.”
