Cech retired from football at the end of the season and returns to the Blues

Petr Cech has returned to Chelsea as the Premier League club's new technical and performance adviser after leaving Arsenal.

The former goalkeeper spent the last four seasons at Arsenal, who he joined from Chelsea in 2015 following 11 years with the Blues. 

He retired at the end of last season, bowing out with a Europa League final defeat against the Stamford Bridge club. 

"I feel very privileged to have this opportunity to join Chelsea again and help create the best possible high-level performance environment to continue the success the club has had over the past 15 years," Cech said.  

During his time as a Chelsea player, Cech endeared himself to the club's supporters and helped the team win four Premier Leagues, four FA Cups, one Champions League and one Europa League.
