Chelsea Women Win After Green Exit as Bompastor Rules Out Replacement

Key contract calls this summer will test a structure now led by the club hierarchy.

Overview

  • Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-0 at Kingsmeadow, with Sjoeke Nüsken and Lauren James scoring.
  • Sonia Bompastor said there are no current plans to replace departing general manager Paul Green and noted strong backing from senior leadership.
  • Supporters’ planned pre‑match protest was washed out, but fans chanted Green’s name in the 13th minute.
  • The match marked the first time since 2012 that Chelsea played without Emma Hayes or Green at the club.
  • Green leaves after 12 years and 19 trophies, and a crucial summer looms with contracts for Millie Bright, Sam Kerr and Guro Reiten due to expire.
