Cech’s departure was announced Monday in the latest change under Chelsea’s neꦡw ownership, which recently said sporting director Marina Granovskaia is also movi🦋ng on.

🍌“With the club under new ownership, I feel now is the right time for me to step aside,”✤ said Cech, who spent 11 seasons as a player at Stamford Bridge before taking the advisory role in 2019.

“I am pleased ꧋that the club is now in an excellent position with the new owners, and I am confident of its future success both on and off the pitch.”
