Edouard Mendy’s Farewell Message to Chelsea Fans
================================================
Edouard Mendy has left Chelsea for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, and in his farewell message to the Blues fans, he thanked Roman Abramovich but made no direct mention of Todd Boehly. The 31-year-old goalkeeper was a hero in his first season at Stamford Bridge, helping the club win the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup. However, his form declined in his second season and he kept just one clean sheet in 17 appearances in the last campaign.
Chelsea’s Struggles Since Todd Boehly’s Takeover
————————————————
Chelsea’s fortunes have drastically changed for the worse since Todd Bohely replaced Roman Abramovich. Bohely has been widely criticised for his brash and naïve approach to the game, and there is clearly no love lost between him and Mendy. The American was not mentioned by name in Mendy’s farewell post on Instagram, where he thanked Abramovich, Marina Granovskaia, Petr Cech, Christophe Lollichon, and all his teammates for their support during his time at the club.
Mendy’s Former Teammates Wish Him Well
————————————-
Mendy’s former teammates replied to his post to wish him luck, including Reece James and Mason Mount, while Frank Lampard, the manager who signed him for Chelsea said: ‘Good luck Edu.. a Gentleman and fantastic goalkeeper.’ Granovskaia and Cech were hailed for their work under Abramovich, but were quickly dismissed by Boehly whose decision to appoint himself as interim-sporting director proved to be a complete disaster.
Conclusion
———-
Edouard Mendy has left Chelsea for Al-Ahli and in his farewell message to the Blues fans, he thanked Roman Abramovich but made no direct mention of Todd Boehly. His former teammates wished him well on his departure and it is clear that there is no love lost between him and the new owner of Chelsea. The club has suffered both on the pitch and off it since Boehly took over, and it remains to be seen if they can turn their fortunes around with the new owners.
