Chelsea sack club director after less than a month over 'inappropriate messages’

Damian Willoughby started work at the club this month. Chelsea say messages were sent before employment there

 

Chelsea said they had terminated their commercial director Damian Willoughby’s employment with immediate effect after receiving evidence he had sent “inappropriate messages” before being appointed by the club.

Willoughby began working at Chelsea this month after the club’s takeover by an investment group led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
