Drummy leaves U21s for new Chelsea role

Dermot Drummy is leaving his role as Chelsea U21 coach.

Drummy will be taking on a new challenge in the club's international coaching department.

The position of international head coach, a new role within Chelsea FC to support specific aspects of Chelsea's growing number of overseas partnerships, will draw on Drummy's expertise and many years of coaching experience.

Drummy told chelseafc.com: "I've had a great seven years, I'm really happy with what I've done and I've worked with some fantastic staff and young players.

"I've also worked with managers like Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, and it's been a brilliant learning curve.

"I hope I can now carry that work on for others. I like working with people and it's something I like to think comes naturally to me. This new role will be a great challenge and I look forward to working and teaching in a new environment."
