"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. Chelsea have won 19 trophies during Green's spell at the club,"
"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. Co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley have become increasingly involved with the decision-making on the women's side, and have already taken steps to shape the future of the club. Last week, Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor signed a new contract keeping her at the club until 2030."
Paul Green departed his role as Chelsea's head of women's football after 13 years. He worked alongside Emma Hayes to secure five successive WSL titles and reach a first Women's Champions League final, served as interim manager in 2022 during Hayes' emergency surgery, and led recruitment across several successful transfer windows. The club credited him with significantly developing the women's programme and establishing foundations that helped Chelsea Women become a leading domestic and European team. Chelsea won 19 trophies during his tenure. A 2024 restructure increased co-sporting directors' involvement, prompting questions about club direction.
