nope, head coach only

Mateo Kovacic is ready to come back at Chelsea. The agreement is close for €50M (add ons included) with Real Madrid. It’d be allowed by Uefa also with the transfers ban because he was on loan on last season.

Matt Law:
Chelsea have reached an agreement with Real Madrid to sign Mateo Kovacic permanently. No confirmation of fee or figures involved yet. Club can sign him even with a transfer ban as he is already registered from his loan period.

Given the transfer ban and Ruben Loftus-Cheek's long-term injury, signing Kovacic makes good sense for Chelsea. He's 25 and one would imagine will be better for having a PL season under his belt.

Chelsea agree Kovacic deal and are hopeful they will follow it with new Hudson-Odoi contract #cfc

Chelsea will not make a decision on Kurt Zouma or the futures of Marcos Alonso or Davide Zappacosta, who are both open to moves away, until Frank Lampard has started work as head coach, and Petr Cech starts his new role on Monday.

Mateo Kovacic is coming back to Chelsea, confirmed: here we go! Total agreement reached and he’s going to sign soon 🔵✔️ #CFC #Chelsea #transfers #RealMadrid

Chelsea confirm the exits of Gary Cahill, Gonzalo Higuain, Rob Green, Eduardo and Kyle Scott after the end of their contracts.

Derby County has excused Frank Lampard from reporting back for pre-season training on Monday and Tuesday to allow his discussions regarding a potential move to Chelsea to be concluded as soon as possible.

I thought it was done...

Frank Lampard has signed his contract to become Chelsea’s new manager.

Kovacic has officially signed a five year deal at Chelsea!

Telegraph Sport understands that one of Lampard’s first moves will be to allow the academy players to mix with the senior professionals at the Cobham training complex.

Lampard will also instruct the youth coaches to vary training times, so that he can watch either after or before working with the first team.

But Lampard’s plan is, along with his assistants Jody Morris and Joe Edwards, to watch as many youth games as possible and invite academy players to train with the first team on a regular basis.

Giving so many disadvantages, top 10 ok liao

Chelsea have agreed a new long-term contract with Ruben Loftus-Cheek that will provide head coach Frank Lampard with an immediate boost to his reign. It is expected to run for at least 5 years and could be worth over £150,000-a-week. (Telegraph) #CFC
