Mourinho's empire shrinks as Arnesen accepts bigger transfer brief

Jose Mourinho's powerbase at Chelsea was weakened yesterday as Frank Arnesen
was handed responsibility for all forms of player recruitment at the club.
The two men have a discordant relationship and the manager's position has
been perceptibly undermined now that the former Denmark international is
effectively acting as technical director.
Arnesen was tempted away from Tottenham by Chelsea's chief executive Peter
Kenyon 11 months ago with a view to a youth-recruitment remit, but his
portfolio of duties was yesterday officially expanded as the chief scout Gwyn
Williams left the club after 26 years' service in a variety of backroom roles.
The rise of Arnesen's star will put more pressure on Mourinho to deliver the
Champions League in return for what has been almost £100m of investment in
players' transfer and wage costs this summer. The arrivals of the
world-renowned Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko mark a shift in transfer
policy during this transfer window, with an emphasis on highly marketable
players as Arnesen seeks to manufacture the team of glitterati Roman Abramovich
craves.
Though Ashley Cole is understood still to be the favoured option at left-back,
Roberto Carlos is a superannuated Real Madrid galactico who has been strongly
linked with Chelsea. So far this summer Mourinho's fingerprints can be seen
only on the transfers of the young Africans Salomon Kalou and John Obi Mikel.

With Abramovich having been unconvinced by several of Mourinho's acquisitions,
the Portuguese manager is no longer the sole authority regarding Chelsea's
transfer-market activities. In a typically timely announcement to the
Portuguese press, however, he yesterday sought to restate his position at
Chelsea.
Marcel Desailly, now retired as a player, says he has had offers from his
former clubs Milan and Chelsea and unnamed French clubs to join their staffs.
大意-
莫里尼奧不再獨攬大權,隨著Gwyn Williams離職,Arnesen正式擢昇為「人資主管」。
莫里尼奧奪取歐冠的壓力也隨之增加,Arnesen的工作會著眼在收購具有市場買賣價值
的球員。由於阿布拉莫維奇不太滿意莫里尼奧之前收購,這次轉會,莫里尼奧只有染指
兩位小朋友Kalou和Obi Mikel.但對外莫里尼奧還是強調他有主導權。
另外德塞利也獲得老東家米蘭、切爾西和某法國球隊的邀約擔任幕僚。
