Chelsea set to appoint Mexican as new coach

 Chelsea are set to appoint Bernardo Cueva as the club’s new statistical coach.

Brentford have announced the departure of their tactical statistician Bernardo Cueva.

“Bernardo has done a fantastic job for us over the last four seasons. His first season ended with promotion to the Premier League, and he has played a key role in us now achieving four successive Premier League seasons. Part of Bernardo’s role relates to our set-piece strategies, and this is an area we think everyone at the club can be proud about.”

The 36-year-old is expected to join Chelsea in the summer.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed that the deal is happening.

The Blues hope his arrival will boost the team’s set-piece department.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team have scored seven league goals from set-piece this season, ranking 22nd in Europe in this stat.
