🚨 劳伦斯·斯图尔特将经双方协商一致，卸任切尔西联合体育总监一职，该消息最先由@Matt_Law_DT 和 @NizaarKinsella 曝出。他不会立刻离任，预计仍会出席部分比赛。

Amicable exit that was decided in the last few weeks following talks between Stewart and Behdad Eghbali.

Paul Winstanley, Sam Jewell and Joe Shields will now all be sporting directors on equal footing.

Shields oversees the Academy and player pathways and many of his day-to-day tasks align with a traditional technical director.

Jewell also has wider responsabilities across Strasbourg/BlueCo.

Seen as a natural evolution of the sporting model, with discussions over a new structure starting in April and accelerating following the arrival of Xabi Alonso. Eghbali had said in April, "You tweak a model, you improve, you learn...".

Stewart had overseen investment in data analysis, but this area of the business has been used more by Jewell and Shields due to their expertise in scouting and talent ID.

Dave Fallows remains in his current role, which is more remote and advisory comparative to others in the sporting leadership team.
