His role is expected to enhance the club’s digital presence and engagement with fans, potentially paving the way for innovative content initiatives.
Speculation has already begun about what this new department might produce, with some fans anticipating a “Netflix-style” documentary series, similar to those seen with Manchester City and Arsenal.
Such a series would offer fans a behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day operations of Chelsea, providing a deeper connection to the club.
These changes reflect the new ownership’s commitment to modernizing Chelsea, not only on the pitch but also in how the club connects with its global fanbase.
If a documentary series does materialize, it could offer an unprecedented glimpse into the inner workings of one of the Premier League’s most iconic clubs.
