Local football is starting to reap the benefits of having Chelsea-trained coaches in the Philippines.



Chelsea FC Soccer School Philippines, which was established with the help of the Younghusband brothers in cooperation with the Premier League club Chelsea, continues to train Filipinos to become better coaches and players.



Jojo Durian, development director of Chelsea FC Soccer School Philippines, said more Filipino coaches are learning to mentor better, which translates to improved Filipino players.



“What's so unique about it is they're not here for just a week and leave. They sort of build-operate and transfer. Now even the local coaches start to teach like Chelsea coaches,” said Durian in an interview on The Score.



“It's a fantastic opportunity.. . the coaches worked very, very hard and it's good to see the benefit the players are getting,” said coach Steve Winnett of the Chelsea FC School. – ABS-CBN Sports+Action, The Score, Aug. 8, 2014
