Chelsea Football Club has made significant moves to bolster their coaching staff and address key team issues, amidst the ongoing discussions about manager Mauricio Pochettino's future at the club. The club has reached an agreement with Brentford to appoint Bernardo Cueva as their new set-piece coach for a compensation slightly less than Ā£1m. Cueva, 36, is set to join Chelsea in the summer, continuing his role at Brentford until then. This move is seen as a major coup for Chelsea, with Cueva regarded as a top operator and a Jurgen Klopp nemesis in his field. Despite Pochettino's known reservations about the importance of specialist coaches, Chelsea has proceeded with the appointment, signaling a clear intent to strengthen their coaching department with further additions expected to follow. This decision aligns with Chelsea's broader strategy to enhance their competitive edge, as they also focus on securing a European spot and easing the pressure on Pochettino.
