Rob Green has announced his retirement from professional football after Wednesday’s midweek victory against Arsenal in Baku.
As reported by Henry Winter, Green released a statement that confirmed he would be hanging up his gloves after 20 years as a professional.
While he has not been involved on the pitch much during his time with the Blues, he has become a popular member of the dressing room and will no doubt be missed by his team-mates.
Green confirms that he wants to continue in the game, possibly in a coaching role but whether or not that is with Chelsea remains to be seen.
While the former England international became something of a jovial figure when he joined Chelsea from Huddersfield, he has proven his worth in the dressing room as an experienced head.
The way the rest of the squad celebrated with him during the aftermath of the Arsenal win was a telling sign of how highly he is thought of at Chelsea.
