Paul Green leaves Chelsea after 13 years, medals hidden under the bed
Paul Green, who spent 13 years with Chelsea, is leaving the club. He joked that most of his trophies were tucked away in a box under the bed, a testament to the success he achieved during his tenure.
Paul Green has departed from Chelsea after a 13‑year spell with the club. The former coach and staff member had been part of the club’s rise in recent years, contributing to a range of successes across the footballing pyramid.
In a light‑hearted reflection on his time at Stamford Bridge, Green revealed that the bulk of his medals were kept in a box under the bed, a humorous nod to the many trophies he helped secure.
His departure comes as Chelsea looks to reshuffle its coaching and technical ranks in the wake of recent changes. Green’s experience across the club’s academy and first‑team structures will be missed by players and staff alike.
The silverware he amassed – from youth titles to senior honours – underscores the depth of the club’s achievements during his tenure. It also highlights the often overlooked contributions of back‑room staff to a team’s success.
With his exit, Green will now be free to pursue new opportunities, whether within football or elsewhere, as he moves on from the club where he spent more than a decade of his career.
