  "account": "Paul Green, the former head of women's football at Chelsea, reflects on his 13-year tenure at the club. He admits to a box full of medals that he only realized were there after leaving Chelsea. Green and former manager Emma Hayes formed a strong partnership and led Chelsea to 19 major trophies during their time together. Green left in February 2025, feeling proud of his achievements but noting the club's sudden change in direction. He is now the chief football officer at Bay FC in San Francisco, excited to build a successful team. Green admits that his first 13 years at Chelsea gave him a very structured routine, but transitioning to his new role has been challenging. He hopes to bring in top players and improve the club's infrastructure, particularly focusing on providing opportunities for young English players.",
  "summary": "When Paul Green left Chelsea after 13 years, he had achieved so much success that the majority of his medals were hidden away in a box under the bed.",
