Avram scouting for staff

Chelsea manager Avram Grant has revealed that he is searching for backroom staff and hopes to have his team in place within 3 weeks. Grant already has Mourinho's ex-assistant Steve Clarke working alongside him, but is expected to bring in coaches after Mourinho's staff left at the same time.

Avram added, "Everything happened so quickly but we are looking for staff that will be good for Chelsea.

"We are still looking but I think in two or three weeks, you will see the arrival of the new staff.

"The previous staff did a very good job here but they decided to go with Jose. I understand them.

"I want to do it as quickly as possible but we want quality and will take our time.

"We are looking in England and abroad. We need a fitness and a goalkeeping coach. We are using people from the academy at the moment and they are doing a very good job."
