Chelsea coach Newton steps back from first-team role to focus on loanees and scouting

The 48-year-old was added to Frank Lampard's staff during the summer but will now re-focus on other areas of the club's development

Eddie Newton has broadened his role as Frank Lampard's assistant first-team coach to continue work with Chelsea's loan group and join the club's scouting staff.

Goal has learned that the 48-year-old will operate in many areas of the club simultaneously, with Lampard continuing to work with a core coaching staff group of Jody Morris, Chris Jones and Joe Edwards.

The trio enjoy a close relationship with the Blues' manager and take active roles in the club's training sessions.
