Former Chelsea attacker Florent Malouda has paid tribute to Marina Granovskaia.
The former Blues managing director was pushed out of the club by new owner Todd Boehly after 12 years.
Malouda told Sport-Express: I keep in touch with Granovskaia a little.
"But what she did could be an inspiration for people who are involved in football. I wish her all the best. She was a real leader. I don't know what her next step in her career is.
"I hope she's doing well."
