Bompastor, who succeeded Emma Hayes as the Chelsea head coach, continued: “Revealing my life together with Camille, our relationship, after – as I say in the book – these 13 years of lies, is still a subject on which we are not entirely comfortable today.
Bompastor and Abily were previously teammates at the French club Lyon, where they won two and five Women’s Champions League titles respectively, and both starred in the French national team for prolonged periods on the international stage, both surpassing 150 senior international caps.
Sonia Bompastor and Camille Abily, the Chelsea women’s team head coach and her assistant, have revealed they are in a long-term romantic relationship and have four children together.
Discussing their relationship in public for the first time, on the eve of the release of Bompastor’s autobiography, the couple told the French newspaper L’Équipe that they were previously not comfortable talking about their private lives openly.
“We are always looking for happiness,” said Bompastor, who is yet to lose a game in charge of Chelsea since taking charge last summer.
