MAURI JOINS COACHING TEAM

Posted on: Wed 28 Jul 2010Chelsea Football Club welcomes Giovanni Mauri as an addition to our first-team technical staff.

A fitness coach, the Italian has previously worked with Carlo Ancelotti at two Serie A clubs and has also coached with teams in Switzerland. He will augment Chelsea's existing staff.

'Giovanni worked for me for two years at Parma and eight years at Milan,' explains Ancelotti, 'and he has a lot of experience because he hasn't worked just with football teams, he has also worked with cycling teams.

'He has very important experience and he will be a support to [first-team fitness coach] Glen Driscoll and [head of sports science] Nick Broad in the physical training.'

Mauri brings with him 25 years' worth of experience of working in professional sport.

time will tell if this has been a good acquisition or not, does the expression 'too many cooks in the kitchen' apply.
