After a season of unprecedented success, the Chelsea Academy will be undergoing some changes in personnel this summer. The Blues lifted both the Barclays Under-21 Premier League title and the FA Youth Cup in 2014; the latter for a third time in five years, and will be aiming for similar achievements in the next campaign, but will be doing so without Under-21 coach Dermot Drummy, who will be taking on a new challenge in the clubs international coaching department. The position of international head coach, a new role within Chelsea FC to support specific aspects of Chelseas growing number of overseas partnerships, will draw on Drummys expertise and many years of coaching experience. To accommodate Drummys changing role, Adi Viveash will step up from the Under-18s to coach the Under-21s, while Under-16 coach Joe Edwards will now take charge of the Under-18s. Viveash had been in his previous role since July 2011, lifting the FA Youth Cup twice, while Edwards, a former Chelsea schoolboy, had also been assisting the youth team and has been a part of the Academy coaching staff since 2004.
