Chelsea announced the appointment of a new technical director in Christopher Vivell recently, who was in a similar role at Leipzig until months ago.

He made the comment during a Twitter Q&A.

Olmo scored a goal and assisted in another goal, despite Spain crashing out in the round of 16 at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

He has been praised for his ability to read the game and pick out passes, and it remains to be seen how that will help Fabregas in a coaching role.

Nkunku signing a mistake?

Sports Brief earlier reported on how the signing of Christopher Nkunku could be a major risk by Chelsea, due to his knee injury.

The Blues have had to deal with major knee injuries to key players like Reece James and Ben Chilwell, youngster Armando Broja and new signing Wesley Fofana.

Some believe it is a very risky move by the Londoners to sign another player, who shares a history of similar injury.
