Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has been awarded the title of Best Club Director in European football at the Golden Boy awards.
The Russian-Canadian director has been at the club since 2013 and has been fundamental in the club’s success on and off the pitch ever since.
Granovskaia is normally in charge of player transfers and contracts and had a helping hand in the appointment of current manager Thomas Tuchel in January this year.

Her decision making at the club has seen the Blues enjoy a highly successful year, which saw the west London side win their second ever Champions League title and a top four finish in the Premier League, as well as an FA Cup final.
Granovskaia has now been recognised for her efforts this year at the European Champions with the award.
