	Frank Arnesen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frank Arnesen (born September 30, 1956 in Copenhagen) is the sporting director of English football club Chelsea.
		After his active career, Frank Arnesen was first appointed assistant coach at PSV under Bobby Robson from 1991 to 1993, and in 1994 he became the general manager of the team.
		Arnesen was to function as the manager responsible for player transfers and scouting for new talent, while coach Jacques Santini handled the daily training sessions and match setups; an arrangement identical to Arnesen's days as PSV manager.
