Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has added to his backroom team.
The Daily Mail says Ancelotti has turned to trusted fitness coach Giovanni Mauri.
Mauri first worked with Ancelotti as far back as 1996 with Parma before rejoining him at AC Milan. Ancelotti has now persuaded Mauri to link up with him once more and his appointment comes at a time when Chelsea have lost not only Alex but also Didier Drogba and Petr Cech to muscle injuries which have sidelined the trio for the start of the coming campaign.
Mauri is expected to work along side current fitness coach Glen Driscoll and head of sports science Nick Broad.
