The 39-year-old joins the Blues after an impressive season as Under-23s head coach at Estoril, in which the Portuguese side topped the Under-23 Liga Revelacao table.

Coelho had previously worked in Benfica’s highly respected Academy. He joined the club’s youth set-up in 2006 and worked his way up from assistant coach of the Under-14s to being named the Portuguese giants’ Under-19s head coach ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

Welcome to Chelsea, Filipe!
