Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has joined the England coaching setup.

The ex-forward, who was a huge force in the Premier League in the 1990s and early 2000s, replaces Chris Powell.

The latter has decided to move on to focus on his role within the Tottenham academy, per The Telegraph.

Hasselbaink had been spending time in India as part of his work as a Chelsea ambassador.

Now he is set to work with Gareth Southgate and the rest of the England coaches.

The FA are thought to be delighted at his appointment, given their recent BAME initiative in coaching.
