Chelsea have axed three first-team staff members, with former academy coach Ed Brand one of those made redundant.

Sources have claimed Chelsea made the cuts following the confirmation of their huge losses outlined in the accounts for last season, breaking the English football record for an annual loss with £262.4 million.

Brand was a former academy player at the club whose career was cut short due to injury.

However, he worked as a coach within the Blues academy from 2009, across roles from the Under-12s to U-21s. Brand was then appointed loan technical coach in October 2024 and was also responsible for monitoring players while out on loan from the club.

Just in: today’s Chelsea team news. 👊

🚨 Nicolas Jackson is warming to the idea of returning to Chelsea, as a permanent move to @Bayern_Munich after his loan spell ends appears unlikely.

The Senegal striker is still very close to some of his former Chelsea team mates.
