Chelsea scout 'rejoins' Liverpool after exodus of backroom staff

Sven Dworaczek is returning to Liverpool after leaving Chelsea as the Stamford Bridge club drives towards a data-led approach to transfers under their new ownership.

According to a report by the Guardian, Dworaczek is returning to Anfield after leaving his role as a European scouting coordinator at the West London club. The report goes on to claim that the 32-year-old was hired by Scott McLachlan, who has also left his position as the club’s head of international scouting.

Leonardo Masieri, the report also claims, is another who is leaving his role as a European scouting coordinator after accepting a role at City Football Group, Manchester City’s parent company. Both Dworaczek and Masieri have left on good terms, it is claimed.

Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have overseen heavy internal restructuring since taking over the Stamford Bridge club back in May. As well as restructuring the scouting department, Graham Potter has also replaced Thomas Tuchel as head coach.

Russian-Israeli billionaire Abramovich put Chelsea, which he purchased in 2003, up for sale on March 2, a week after Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine on February 24. After months of negotiations, the deal, worth £4.25bn, was finally approved when the government received legal guarantees that Roman Abramovich - who has had his UK assets frozen - would not benefit from the sale.

"Our vision as owners is clear: We want to make the fans proud. Along with our commitment to developing the youth squad and acquiring the best talent, our plan of action is to invest in the club for the long-term and build on Chelsea's remarkable history of success," Boehly said following his takeover.
