Eddie Newton

I think he is staying, i heard on facebook that he's staying. I really hope so.

What role??? Zenden??

[Joker10 946]

[James 5,198]

Soon as Di Matteo gets a new job he'll be off to join him as his number 2.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

So what's the final verdict? Eddie is gone but Steve is still here?

[Tomo 21,733]

I remember when Mourinho left, the club confirmed within hours that the staff he brought in the first place have also left the club.

When Scolari left, his assistant (can't remember his name) went with him something that was confirmed almost immediately.

When AVB left, the technical staff (IE opposition scout Souza) departure's were confirmed at the same time.

Am i the only one finding it weird there has been no conformation of his assumed departure? Not even an "Assistant Eddie Newton has also left the club" at the end of the Di Matteo sacked articles.

No sign of Eddie Newton in the Chelsea dugout. Reports he will remain with the club, but clearly not in a first team coaching role.

Make of that what you wish..

[DH1988 1,273]

heard on the radio he'll have something to do with the youth/reserve setup, again as above, make of that what you wish!

Almost as disappointed to see him go as Robbie. Two men who understood the culture of our club and the supporters, true fuckin blues. !

Their was also an empty seat in the dugout, make of that what you will.

Noticed Zenden wasn't there yesterday. Can't be in the dugout without the qualified coaching badges.

Eddie Newton on #ChelseaTV. Spy says his role is mentoring young loanees at #CFC

Seems that he holds the postion of 'Technical Coach for Youth Development' at the club.

From Eddie himself via a very close and trusted Chelsea supporting friend of mine is that one of his main responsibilities now is the monitoring and development of the loanees, including whether the loan placement is proving to be suitable. This ought to stop/halt instances such as the one that occurred with Josh last season.

There was nobody carrying out this function prior to Eddie's appointment into the role.
