Marina Granovskaia has said that she's delighted after finalising an agreement to bring Petr Cech back to Stamford Bridge.
The Chelsea director was instrumental in securing a return for the 37-year-old who established himself as a firm fans' favourite during his 11 years in west London.
That return has been confirmed with Cech taking on the role of Technical and Performance Advisor, which will see him advise on all football and performance matters from the senior team down to the academy.
Having spent over a decade with the Blues, the former goalkeeper will undoubtedly add real experience and value as the club look towards an exciting new chapter.
Speaking of Cech's appointment, Marina Granovskaia said: "We are delighted to welcome Petr back home to Chelsea.
"During his playing career here he was one of the most dedicated, successful and thoughtful professionals we have ever had.
"We always hoped that when Petr was ready to retire we would see him back at Chelsea FC and we are thrilled to add his expertise and knowledge of the game to the technical staff."
