Chelsea have reportedly hired former All Blacks mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka on a short-term consultancy basis.

Enoka, who described himself as the 'custodian of culture' for the All Blacks, has spent over 20 years with the New Zealand national side in a number of roles, including as the team's mental skills coach, assistant manager and more recently the side's leadership manager.

His time with one of the most feted sports teams on the planet coincided with them claiming two World Cups back-to-back in 2011 and 2015 and shaking off the feeling that they often failed to get it done in the key moments.
