http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1792496,00.html Mourinho's empire shrinks as Arnesen accepts bigger transfer brief Matt Scott Thursday June 8, 2006 The Guardian 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.

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- 莫里尼奥不再独揽大权，随着Gwyn Williams离职，Arnesen正式擢昇为「人资主管」。 莫里尼奥夺取欧冠的压力也随之增加，Arnesen的工作会着眼在收购具有市场买卖价值 的球员。由於阿布拉莫维奇不太满意莫里尼奥之前收购，这次转会，莫里尼奥只有染指 两位小朋友Kalou和Obi Mikel.但对外莫里尼奥还是强调他有主导权。 另外德塞利也获得老东家米兰、切尔西和某法国球队的邀约担任幕僚。 --
