<\/p>\nTodd Boehly\u2019s disastrous spell at Chelsea continues as a member of the coaching staff has left the club. According to the British publication The Telegraph, first-team coach Bruno Saltor has ‘secretly’ left the side just four months into Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s spell as manager.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old joined the West London club from Brighton along with Graham Potter when the latter took charge of the team in September 2022, and he remained despite his sacking just seven months later. But now the former soccer player is said to have left without the team paying out the remainder of his contract.<\/p>\n
The former Premier League player\u2019s exit was not officially announced by Chelsea, with the club deciding against making it public. It is also understood that the Spaniard left his role several weeks ago. Boehly spent \u00a321 million to bring Potter and his staff to the club, but just over a year later, only two members of the team remain.<\/p>\n
They are the head of goalkeeping Ben Roberts and Kyle Macaulay, a data analyst. During Saltor\u2019s tenure at Stamford Bridge, he was named as caretaker head coach after Potter\u2019s sacking and managed the team for one match, a 0\u20130 draw against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in April 2023.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, it’s been a difficult 24 hours for all of us, for the staff, for the families and now we just have to deal with the situation,” he said. When asked for his thoughts on taking on the role after Potter had left, the Spaniard replied: “If I am here right now, it’s because Graham and the club they thought it was the right step and I’m here just trying to help the club and trying to be the most professional I can.”<\/p>\n
Saltor won some admirers at Chelsea and his departure is another thing that has gone wrong for Boehly. The American has spent almost \u00a31 billion in transfers since taking ownership of the club over a year ago and they currently sit 14th in the English Premier League.<\/p>\n
They have managed just one win in the league so far this season, which came against newly-promoted Luton Town and have scored just five goals. Chelsea have won just five of the 27 league games played in 2023 and they suffered another defeat on Sunday, this time against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

But also players, when they are young, need to learn, and experience and make mistakes. That\u2019s why we feel disappointed as there are too many situations like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
