Chelsea have confirmed the appointment of former goalkeeper Petr Cech as the club's new technical and performance advisor following his retirement from football.
Cech has spent the last four years at Arsenal, but prior to that had spent 11 years with the Blues - a large chunk of that as number one goalkeeper. He had made 494 appearances for Chelsea and won 13 major honours during his spell at Stamford Bridge, with his last game in football coming in Baku last month, as Arsenal went down 4-1 to the Blues in the Europa League final.
Chelsea have described the details of Cech's new role, stating on their website: "His role will also align him with the men’s first team coaching and backroom staff, travelling with the team home and away with an emphasis on strategy and performance.
