Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea legend, Paulo Ferreira, has decided to leave the club and move back to Portugal.<\/p>\n

Paulo Ferreira has left his role as loan player technical coach at Chelsea, Football London reports.<\/p>\n

Ferreira is now heading back to his native Portugal so as to be closer to his family.<\/p>\n

He started managing Chelsea\u2019s loan players after nine years of playing for the West London club.<\/p>\n

His decision is coming at a time when Chelsea is currently being rocked by owner Roman Abramovich\u2019s decision to sell the club he has owned for 19 years.<\/p>\n

Ferreira\u2019s decision, however, is understood not to be connected to Abramovich\u2019s pending sale of Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Recall that Abramovich is seeking a quick sale of the Blues amid increased scrutiny on his position following Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Reports had emerged that the Russian billionaire could complete a sale as early as Monday, with a Swiss-American consortium confident of agreeing on a deal over the weekend.<\/p>\n
