I clawed my way to the top but need a break - Azpilicueta

Chelsea reporter Published 27 minutes ago Cesar Azpilicueta was an all-encompassing leader for Chelsea - and, now retired, he reflects on how his passion for education and attention to detail helped him build a career at the highest level.

One story sums it up. Before Chelsea 's Champions League final victory in 2021, Azpilicueta could not take his customary pre-match nap and opted to study instead.

He says his work towards an MBA in business management from the Berlin School of Business and Innovation took his mind off the pressure and noise on the streets of Porto.
