Sonia Bompastor admitted she would be “happy to go” as she opened the door to leaving Chelsea following a humbling 5-1 defeat to Manchester City that has left the Blues’ WSL title defence in serious trouble.
Chelsea were blown away by City in a one-sided contest, with Bompastor’s side unable to cope as the scoreline kept growing. The result has dented their hopes of retaining the title and raised fresh questions about what comes next.
Speaking after the heavy loss, Bompastor did not hide her frustration and suggested she would accept the consequences if the club decided to move on. “I’ll be happy to go,” she said, in comments that underlined how damaging the night was for everyone connected with Chelsea.
Despite the scale of the defeat, it has been revealed that Chelsea’s stance on Bompastor’s future remains unchanged, with the club not planning an immediate change in the dugout.
The focus now turns to how Chelsea respond in the run-in, with Bompastor tasked with lifting her players quickly after a result that has shifted the momentum firmly towards Manchester City.
