Episode Notes

After 13 years and 19 trophies, last week Chelsea parted ways with general manager Paul Green. After a wild few weeks for the Blues, it’s time to wonder if the reigning Women’s Super League Champions are in crisis?

On this episode of Full Time, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by The Athletic’s Cerys Jones and Megan Feringa, who last week reported on Green’s departure and what is going on inside Chelsea this season. What led to Green being ousted? Who is making the decisions at Chelsea now? Can Chelsea salvage their 2025-26 season? What is the latest on Cat Macario’s future, and how is that related to this change in the club’s front office?

PLUS: Tamerra Griffin joins the show to analyze the U.S. Women’s National Team roster for the 2026 SheBelieves Cup that was announced on Tuesday, where Emma Hayes also paid tribute to her former Chelsea colleague Green. So, who is in, who is out for the USWNT? Are we closer to knowing the core group and best XI? What does it mean to have the USWNT’s European stars returning?
