Chelsea confirmed on Monday morning that Petr Cech will leave his role as Technical and Performance Advisor at the end of the month. The former Blues goalkeeper was appointed in his role three years ago, but is now looking for a new challenge in his career.
Cech said to the club's website: "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 both on and off the pitch."
Todd Boehly, Chelsea's chairman and co-controlling owner added: "Petr is an important member of the Chelsea family. We understand his decision to step away and thank him for his contributions as an advisor and his commitment to the club and to our community. We wish him the best."
