Piet De Visser has worked as a scout for Chelsea since 2005. The Dutchman has an impressive CV that includes a 36-year managerial career in his homeland.
Unearthing top players
The 85-year-old was hugely influential in bringing the likes of Romario and Ronaldo to Europe. Despite his advancing years, the Dutchman continues to provide information and recommend players to the club.
Arjen Robben, Salomon Kalou and Jon Obi Mikel were all signed on De Visser’s recommendation. The former Williem II boss was also influential in the setting up of Chelsea’s academy.
