# Dermot Drummy offered role in Brazil

According to the Mirror, Ex-Chelsea Coach Dermot Drummy has been offered a senior manager job with Rio-based side, Bangu. The 54-year-old manager will fly down to South America in order to discuss the job and visit the club.

“This is a huge opportunity, and for an English manager making this step is almost unprecedented,” said Drummy *“I will fly out with my management team to Rio within the next week or so to hold talks with Bangu. The club is proud of its English roots and I have been offered an opportunity to transform the club from top to bottom – it’s an exciting project.”*

Drummy is well known for his excellent work with both Arsenal and Chelsea’s academy. His experience is widely regarded by the Brazilian club.

“*We welcome Dermot’s extensive knowledge and experience of the game and see him as a valuable asset in our mission to elevate the club,*” said Bangu president Jorge Varela.

Drummy has been looking to make the move to senior management for a while now. He is considered a candidate for coaching positions at Notts County and Crystal Palace. With a little luck, the Englishman can transition into a world-class manager, similar to the likes of Ex-Chelsea coach Brendan Rodgers. Drummy certainly has the coaching tools to be a great manager. However, he will now need to add the experience in order to be widely regarded by the bigger clubs. This opportunity at Bangu seems like the perfect stepping-stone into management for the 54-year-old.
