New Chelsea Technical Director Michael Emenalo to work closely with Andre Villas-Boas
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 director.
According to the official website:
“Michael takes on a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitalô-c40903 role that will assist the overall long-term football strategy of the club.”
The 46-year-old revealed he was looking forward to helping the Blues in the summer transfer window and the upcoming season. When asked about his duties as the Technical Director, Emenalo said he would be working closely with the Chelsea manager on transfers and other matters concerning the academy.
Despite lacking the experience, Emenalo would seem to be the perfect candidate for the post, having played in various countries as a footballer. He has played in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
Emenalo said in an interview:
“Without delving too deeply into it, the first thing is that I'm going to be supporting the manager and working with him in making sure that things run smoothly.
I have the responsibility to direct and manage our scouting structure internationally and domestically, and to keep an eye on and assist the progress of the academy. That's the simple summation.”
Emenalo said he was clear on who had the final say on transfers, with the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 boss that he would not compromise over this matter. The Nigerian agreed with Villas-Boas’ ultimate authority on this matter but maintained he did have a say in new signings.
The former assistant first team coach continued:
“The final decisions about who comes in and who doesn't will be the manager's to make, but to arrive at that stage there will be a lot of working together.”
With Emenalo having come in the Blues can work towards identifying their targets for the summer transfer window and bringing in players. So far, Chelsea are amongst the few clubs in the English Premier League who have yet to make any signings.
