Published: June 21, 2019

Chelsea have announced through their official website that freshly retired goalkeeper Petr Cech has been appointed as the club's Technical and Performance Advisor.

His job description entails providing advice on all football and performance matters throughout the club as well as embed and facilitate strong links between our men’s and academy teams, ensuring that the various support departments are working together effectively.

Cech will assume some some of the responsibilities left by former Technical Director Michael Emenalo, who resigned from Chelsea in November 2017 before joining Monaco.

The retired Super Eagles defender joined Chelsea in 2007, three years after the Stamford Bridge outfit snapped up Cech from Rennes for a then club record fee for a goalkeeper.

Cech won 13 major titles with Chelsea, including the Champions League and Europa League in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

The 37-year-old started for Arsenal in their 4-1 loss to The Blues in the final of the Europa League last month.
