With the close of the transfer window, Premier League sides may no longer be able to bring in any new players - but that doesn't mean clubs aren't looking to make additions to their backroom staff.
Fresh off the heels of the news that Manchester United are seeking to appoint a sporting director, the Guardian report that Chelsea will hope to have a new technical director to succeed Michael Emenalo once the European transfer window shuts at the end of August.
Emenalo left the Blues last November after 10 years at the club to take up a similar role with Ligue 1 side Monaco, leaving director Marina Granovskaia to oversee transfer operations in the two windows since whilst Chelsea searched for Emenalo's replacement.
