Richard's vision for Marina Granovskaia as City's new Director of Football is simple: he wants to replicate how Abramovich used her diplomatic skills to their fullest.
Her responsibilities will include contract negotiations, club-agent-player relations, managerial support, and developing the transfer strategy.
This is how Richard envisions the Director of Football's role.
So, essentially, the current City organization chart is divided among three key figures:
Richard Maddox (Chairman): Has the final say on overall club strategy and oversees the entire club's operations.
Miss Heysen (CEO): Focuses on financial sustainability, liaising with governing bodies and external relations, and handling brand and commercial strategy.
Marina Granovskaia (DoF): Manages football operations, including player recruitment, transfers, scouting (later), negotiations, and contracts.
