TEN CATE LEAVING AJAX FOR CHELSEA, SAYS
AGENT
LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Henk Ten Cate's agent said the Ajax
Amsterdam coach has agreed to join Premier League club Chelsea as
assistant to Avram Grant, according to reports in British
newspapers on Friday.
'It's true we have an agreement with Chelsea,' Ten Cate's agent
Sigi Lens was quoted as saying by The Sun.
'Chelsea want to take the coach now so if there is an agreement
between the two clubs then everything will be clear.'
Chelsea, who beat Valencia 2-1 in the Champions League on
Wednesday, issued two statements on Thursday, the first regarding
Grant's proposed coaching structure and the second dismissing
reports of a link with Dutch coach Guus Hiddink.
Grant was appointed after the departure of Portuguese manager Jose
Mourinho last month.
Ten Cate, who was assistant coach to Frank Rijkaard at Barcelona
when they won the Champions League, became Ajax coach in May 2006
on a two-year contract through to July 2008.
Ajax were eliminated from the UEFA Cup on Thursday after a 3-2 home
loss to Dinamo Zagreb saw them go out on away goals.

Rijkaard - has a contract with Barca till 2009 which comes with a
3mth escape clause.
Hiddink - rumours have been around since Feb, just offered contract
to stay on with Russia till 2010, according to AB's latest
statement.
