Chelsea coach Bruno Saltor has secretly left the club despite being named as one of Mauricio Pochettino’s assistants at the start of the season.
The Spaniard, who briefly took caretaker charge of the first team in April, stayed on after former manager Graham Potter, who brought him to Stamford Bridge from Brighton last year, got booted out. But it now appears that he’s been let go, with The Telegraph reporting that his contract has been ‘paid up’.
Saltor’s exit has not communicated by the club, though it’s understood that he was removed from his position some time after Pochettino’s arrival back in July. His departure means that just two of the six individuals who moved to Chelsea when they paid a record £21million to take Potter from Brighton are still at the club.
Ben Roberts, who was given a promotion this summer to work as head of goalkeeping and Kyle Macaulay, who has continued to work as a data analyst, are the two that remain. Meanwhile, Saltor has joined Potter, Billy Reid and Bjorn Hamberg on the scrapheap.
