Chelsea title winner Carvalho enjoying Marseille coaching role

Chelsea title winner Ricardo Carvalho is enjoying his work with Olympique Marseille.

The former Blues defender is currently in his first coaching role as Andre Villas-Boas' assistant at Marseille.

"It's a new personal challenge for me," he told the Daily Mail.

"It's different. As a player you take orders and react. As a coach, you have to give orders but of course, it's taken a little bit of adaptation for me and I feel better right now than at the beginning when I started with Andre and his staff.

"I am learning a lot. So, in this moment, I don't think about being a head coach - I am happy with the role that I've got."
