Chelsea's head coach Sonia Bompastor has revealed that she has been in a 13-year romantic relationship with her former team-mate and coaching assistant at the women's side in her new autobiography.
Bompastor arrived at Cobham on a wave of anticipation this summer following the departure of heavily decorated former manager Emma Hayes, bringing with her a strong Champions League-winning pedigree from her stint at Olympique Lyon - and her coaching partner Camille Abily.
Both Bompastor and Abily played together at the French giants during their career before setting up as a managerial team, with Bompastor taking the lead and overseeing glittering stint at Lyon featuring three league titles, the Coupe de France, and a Champions League trophy.
