Chelsea have named Andy Myers as new U23 coach.

Myers will take charge of our development squad following the promotion of Joe Edwards to a position on Frank Lampard's backroom staff.

Jon Harley, who also moves up from the Under-18s after working closely with Myers last term, will take the role of development squad assistant.

Meanwhile, Ed Brand is the new Under-18s head coach. He is a former youth team captain as a player.

Brand will be assisted by James Simmonds, another former schoolboy player who has turned his hand to coaching since hanging up his boots and is promoted from Under-16s head coach.
