Chelsea have hired the former New Zealand Rugby teams' mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka in order to help develop a winning culture at Stamford Bridge. Enoka spent 15 years at the All Blacks famously helping them to back-to-back World Cup triumphs in 2007 and 2011 and he will now join Chelsea in a short-term consultancy role, according to The Telegraph.
Enoka is most known for his role in New Zealand's rugby union world dominance that peaked towards the end of the noughties. The mental skills coach developed a "no-d***heads" policy during his extended tenure with the All Blacks and his arrival at Chelsea comes after Graham Potter's squad reached 33 members, with seven brought in last month.
This will be Enoka's first foray into football, although he has dabbled in other sports alongside rugby including a six-year spell as a mental skills coach with the New Zealand cricket team and three years with the Silver Ferns netball team.
