CHELSEA manager Sonia Bompastor opened up on her secret romantic relationship with assistant Camille Abily, which they had kept under wraps for 13 years.
Bompastor told L'Equipe: "Revealing my life together with Camille, our couple, after - as I say in the book - these 13 years of lying, is still a subject on which today we are not entirely comfortable.
The new Chelsea boss revealed in her recent autobiography A Life of Football - published in France on Wednesday - that she has been in a relationship with her assistant for 13 years.
Bompastor, 44, took over the Blues' women's team last May after legendary predecessor Emma Hayes rolled credits on her glittering 12-year stint at Stamford Bridge to coach the US national team.
The French tactician brought over Abily, 40, with whom she spent years playing together for Montpellier, Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain and France, where they won number of silverware.
