Chelsea have appointed Christopher Vivell as technical director after his departure from RB Leipzig, the Premier League club announced on Wednesday.
Vivell left Leipzig earlier this year, with the Bundesliga side citing “differing views” in the statement confirming his exit.
He previously spent five years at RB Salzburg as head of scouting and recruitment and was also a first-team scout at Hoffenheim.
The German becomes the latest addition to Chelsea’s behind-the-scenes operation following the club’s takeover by Todd Boehly and private equity firm Clearlake Capital.
