Petr Cech is leaving his role as Chelsea’s technical and performance advisor as the summer shake-up at Stamford Bridge continues.
Former goalkeeper Cech, who spent 11 seasons as a player in west London before returning after a spell at Arsenal to take up his current role in 2019, announced his exit on Monday. But following the takeover by the Todd Boehly-led consortium there have been a number of key departures announced, notably the former chairman Bruce Buck and sporting director Marina Granovskaia.
In a statement, Cech said: “It has been a huge privilege to perform this role at Chelsea for the past three years. With the club under new ownership, I feel now is the right time for me to step aside. I am pleased that the club is now in an excellent position with the new owners, and I am confident of its future success both on and off the pitch.”
