Official - RDM and Steve Holland appointed assistant coaches

[EskWeston 696]

What a brilliant appointment this would be, things really moving in a new and exciting direction at Chelsea this summer. Hope the player appointments are just as exciting. Minor roumers of Zola also joining the coaching staff.......

If its true..its the next best thing to having Zola as assistant manager...good times...

Following the success of last season's reserve side, who became national champions, reserve coach Steve Holland will also step up to work with the senior squad, becoming an assistant first team coach, while Christophe Lollichon continues as goalkeeping coach.

so lollichon stays with us, very good news, because cech loves to work with him...

So happy to see Robbie back, it's gonna be brilliant seeing him with the Chelsea badge on his chest again. Some heart, soul and blue blood back in chelsea, an absolutely perfect move. AVB knows exactly what he's doing and he knows exactly what the fans want and what Chelsea need. This is probably the most excited i've ever been before a pre season, seriously. Can't wait.

Welcome Roberto

I heard that Emenalo will leave?

[magic weeds 446]

I think this is a perfect appointement. Welcome back RDM.

I also think Steve Holland has really done a good job since joining us from Stoke City. I wonder who will be the new reserve team coach.

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Excellent news.....great to have Robbie back

[steve5221 91]

Has thier been anything official on Clement, English and O Driscoll leaving???.......Also what is the deal with Mick McGiven??

[termninja 5,290]

Shame...I was hoping for Emenalo to remain...

Welcome back Robbie. Di Mateo as a assistant manager is a brilliant move

[Duppy Conqueror 1,526]

nice to see Robbie back..if i recall correctly he was part of the coaching staff under Claudio..can`t remember exactly what his position was but i think it was in some role with the youth team.
