Chelsea have one of the most sophisticated data setups in world football, with their BlueCo ownership making huge strides in the area since purchasing the club in May 2022.
Back then, BlueCo estimated the club were 20 years behind their counterparts in other sports in the United States when it came to data analytics.
Fast forward three years and it's a different story: just last week, Chelsea were interviewing for another performance data analyst to join their growing army of specialists - including Sachin Gupta, their chief analytics officer, and Javier Fernandez, their director of data science, who has a PhD in Artificial Intelligence.
