Chelsea Senior Performance Analyst Fenwick leaves after 19 years

Posting on LinkedIn, he said: “It feels weird that for the first time in approximately 20 years I won’t be going into a training ground in the first week of July.

“I want to look back on my time with pride and gratitude and look forward with confidence and excitement.

“Throughout my time at Chelsea, I’ve had the privilege of seeing up close how some of the best coaches and players in the world operate. Every season has brought different challenges, perspectives and opportunities to learn from these guys and I believe I have learnt so much from all of them.”

Fenwick was previously First Team Match Analyst for Aston Villa and Wolves, spending two years at each club.

Other senior staff to have left Chelsea in the past four years include:

• Marina Granovskaia, Director, who was the most senior football figure at the club when she left in May 2022 after 12 years.
• Petr Cech, Technical and Performance Advisor, had joined the staff after playing in goal for the Blues and left after three years in June 2022.

• Marlon Fahy, Senior Loan Operations and Performance Analyst, who joined the club initially on an internship in July 2012.
• Luis Nedio, Loan and Mentor Technical Coach, who arrived in November 2024.
