Chelsea appoints new coach

Chelsea led by US billionaire Todd Boehly have continue to make changes to the club following their take over from Roman Abramovich.

After signing Enzo Maresca as a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino who left the club on mutual agreement at the end of last season, the Blues on Thursday appointed Filipe Coelho as the club’s new Under-21s head coach.

The west London club confirmed the appointment of Coelho as their new manager in a statement on their website.

Coelho moved to Stamford Bridge after an impressive season as Under-23s head coach at Estoril, in which the Portuguese club topped the Under-23 Liga Revelacao table.

“Chelsea Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Filipe Coelho as the club’s new Under-21s head coach,” the club wrote in a statement.

Meanwhile, Chelsea remain busy in the summer transfer window as they continue to be linked with several players to sign for Maresca ahead of next season.

Recall that the Blues managed to finished at the 6th spot last campaign and would hope to impress under their newly appointed manager next campaign.

This is why they are focus on signing a new forward to compete with Nicolas Jackson, who struggled to score goals last season.
