MIKE FORDE,

one rare former Chelsea coach to leave the club on good terms, is enjoying plenty of success in American sport.

Forde, director of football operations at Stamford Bridge before departing on July 2013 to set up consultancy company Sportsology, has worked for 2018 Super Bowl winners Philadelphia Eagles and 2017 runners-up Atlanta Falcons, as well as basketball’s 2014 NBA champions San Antonio Spurs.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said: ‘Sportsology has been an integral partner in helping us formalise our culture, vision, structure and core processes.’
