'I feel very privileged to have this opportunity to join Chelsea again,' Cech insisted this week

Cech will also work with the men's first team coaching and backroom staff and will have an 'emphasis on strategy and performance'.

The 37-year-old said: '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.

'I'm looking forward to the new challenge and hope I can use all of my football knowledge and experience to help the team achieve even more success in the future.'

During his 20 years as a professional footballer, Cech managed to win every major honour going with the Blues and at Arsenal.

He helped Chelsea lift their first-ever Champions League trophy in 2012 and has won the Premier League title on four different occasions.

Cech also holds the impressive records for most clean sheets in Premier League history – 202 in total.

Czech Republic's most capped player managed 280 wins over 443 Premier League appearances for Chelsea and Arsenal during his trophy-laden career.

His last appearance as a professional came in the Europa League final defeat by Chelsea in Baku.

Granovskaia said: 'We are delighted to welcome Petr back home to Chelsea. During his playing career here he was one of the most dedicated, successful and thoughtful professionals we have ever had.

There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate.
