Chelsea have sacked Damian Willoughby less than one month after appointing him as commercial director, following an accusation and evidence of sexual harassment.

Text messages from Willoughby sent to football finance agent Catalina Kim back in May, were provided to the club earlier this month following his appointment.

Chelsea in a statement released indicated that while this incident occurred before hiring Willoughby, his actions were clearly not something that they were willing to tolerate.

Willoughby had previously held executive roles at Manchester City and EA Sports.
