Eddie Newton is delighted to be back at Chelsea.

Newton kicked off his coaching career with the club's academy.

"Becoming a coach in the Chelsea Academy was the best move I ever made," he told chelseafc.com. 'I was very wary of it at first having been a first team player here, but it put me in good stead for my future.

"I went to see the gang in the Academy last week. They have all put on weight so I said I have to come over there to have dinner because the chef must be quality!

"It was great to see all their faces again, I have been meaning to come in and say hello, but now I will go and watch youth games there."
