EskWeston 696 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Goalkeeper coach Carlos Pracidelli has confirmed he has accepted an offer to link up with Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelsea. The Palmeiras backroom team member is parting from the Brazilian club on amicable terms as they appreciate it was a move he could not refuse. Having worked with Scolari in the past, the switch to London appeals to the South American who will form part of a new-look line-up behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge. "He said I could count on being on the technical committee and asked if I would accept the invitation," he told Futebol Interior. "Immediately, I accepted because I know Felipao. I know how he works because we were together here at Palmeiras and the Brazilian national team. "For this reason, I did not comment with anyone [at first, due to secrecy]. When Felipao let me know that everything was right and the names proposed were accepted, I informed the board of Palmeiras. "The directors of Palmeiras shook my hand. They know this is a rare opportunity in a professional career and are releasing me without any resentment." A three-year deal awaits Pracidelli at Stamford Bridge where he will reportedly join Flavio Teixeira and Darlan Schneider on the technical team.

Elliott 7 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Does this mean the end for Mr Lollichon or will he work alongside him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Cech chose the current guy himself so surely he has to stay? Edited June 26, 2008 by Hazboom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Does this mean the end for Mr Lollichon or will he work alongside him? It's not very clear is it? Assuming that Pracidelli is being brought in as a goalkeeper coach then yes it would be the end of Lollichon. Which is no big suprise, all managers like to have their own team of staff in place.

Elliott 7 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Cech chose the current guy himself so surely he has to stay? I don't think the club said, Petr who do you want as your coach? I think they went to him and said, you got any recommendations? He said Lollichon, they looked him up and found him satisfactory and went on from there.

He said Lollichon, they looked him up and found him satisfactory and went on from there. Yup, that is probably what happened. Even though Cech is probably more than happy to work with Lollichon still, this is the way it happens. The new manager brings in the people he trusts to bring the best out of his players. Still suprises over the silence regarding Clarke. Will be itneresting to finally get some information come the 1st July!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Lollichon also worked as a fitness coach alongside Glen Driscoll to replace Rui Faria, I believe. His methods of goalkeeper training are excellent, he certainly works the keepers to their core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
