Chelsea Appoints Christopher Vivell as Club’s New Technical Director
Chelsea have confirmed they have appointed Christopher Vivell as their new technical director. The Stamford Bridge outfit announced on Monday that Christopher Vivell will join immediately as the club’s new technical director.
The 36-year-old has previously had stints at RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. He has worked at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the capacity of a Match Analyst and Scout. At RB Salzburg, he worked as Head of Scouting and Sports Coordinator before leaving for RB Leipzig in August 2020.
Christopher Vivell left RB Leipzig in October 2022 and took up a position as an advisor at Chelsea. The Premier League club have now appointed him as their new technical director.
Christopher Vivell said he is proud to be joining Chelsea, who he said are building the most exciting project in global football.
“Chelsea are building the most exciting project in global football and I’m extremely proud to be joining the club. There is so much potential for the club to continue to succeed, develop and grow,” Christopher Vivell said.
“Under the new ownership, Graham Potter and the broader sporting team, there is a clear and sustainable philosophy underpinned by performance analysis, data, and innovation, and I am looking forward to playing a part in that.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea will take on Bournemouth in their first Premier League since the winter break. The Blues are without a win in their last five Premier League matches. Graham Potter’s men have suffered three defeats and shared points in two matches in their previous five clashes in the English top flight.
Chelsea will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League on December 27.
Meanwhile, the west London outfit currently languishes at eighth in the Premier League points table. Chelsea have 21 points from 14 matches in the Premier League so far in the 22/23 season and are 16 points short of table-toppers Arsenal.
