Ten Cate set to join Blues

Chelsea on Wednesday confirmed they have reached agreement with Ajax for the release of Henk Ten Cate and expect to announce his appointment to their coaching staff within 24 hours.

According to the club's website, Ten Cate is set to be unveiled as assistant first-team coach at Stamford Bridge.

The 52-year-old Dutchman quit as Ajax boss on Monday and is set to team up with Chelsea manager Avram Grant and assistant Steve Clarke.

Grant is still looking for a fitness coach, a goalkeeping coach and a scout. But Clarke and Ten Cate, who previously worked under compatriot Frank Rijkaard at Barcelona, will be the two men responsible for first-team affairs under him at the Barclays Premier League club.
