Cech has already been doing some great work at the club and he has been the driving force behind signings such as Edouard Mendy, who has just recently been named the FIFA goalkeeper of the year.
His presence and effect in and around Cobham has been very beneficial and he acts as a positive middle-man between the owners and the team.
He’s been writing in his latest column again on the Chelsea website this week, and the snippet below is fantastic:
