Petr Cech confirms next move after Chelsea icon left club in Todd Boehly takeover

Former Premier League goalkeeper Petr Cech may have retired from football in 2019, but the 40-year-old certainly hasn't stopped putting on the gear between the posts.

Cech switched to ice hockey after hanging up his boots, and signed for Guildford Phoenix in 2019 - continuing to play in his spare time while acting as a technical and performance advisor at Chelsea. However, following the club takeover when Todd Boehly took over from Roman Abramovich, Cech left his role.

And now that Cech is free to focus on ice hockey full-time, he's signed NIHL South Division 1 side Chelmsford Chieftains for the 2022/23 season. Cech won all there was to win with the Phoenix last year, and now he's stepped up a division to become a netminder for the Chieftains.
