Michael Emenalo has ended his 10-year association with Chelsea following his sudden departure as the club's technical director as questions continue to mount over Antonio Conte's managerial reign at the club.

The news surrounding the 52-year-old, who could be set to join Monaco, will come as a major blow to owner Roman Abramovich.
Abramovich had used the Nigerian as a soundboard in west London - with him among the few people he trusted and took advice from.


The Blues have won the Premier League title three times, the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Europa League and the Champions League while Emenalo has been at the club.

The latest Premier League triumph came under current boss Conte in his first season in English football. However, the Italian's second campaign has proved less successful so far.

Emenalo watched Chelsea beat title rivals Manchester United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon - sitting behind the Blues' dugout.

Conte snubbed him yesterday.

Antonio Conte v Michael Emenalo
It’s also worth noting what happened between Conte and Emenalo after Chelsea beat Man United 1-0 on Sunday.

After the full-time whistle blew at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Conte was accused of snubbing Michael Emenalo.

That claim was made by journalist Duncan Castles on social media.

Castles is often accused of being the mouthpiece of Jose Mourinho in the press

Indeed, the scribe was quizzed on that issue last week by Liverpool fans.

After the Chelsea game, Castles wrote the following on Twitter:

he could have given us the reason for the action taken

He should come and coach Enyimba of Aba for us
