Boston, MA (My Sportsbook) - The Kansas City Chiefs have hired Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli to replace Carl Peterson, who resigned a few weeks ago after serving as the team's president, general manager and CEO since 1989.

According to the Boston Globe, New England's director of player personnel, Nick Caserio, would replace Pioli.

"We are very excited to welcome Scott to the Chiefs," team chairman Clark Hunt said. "With his proven track record of success, Scott is the finest player personnel executive in the NFL, and we look forward to his leadership in building a championship organization."

During his time in New England, Pioli helped guide the Patriots to three Super Bowl titles and six division championships. He will inherit a Chiefs club that went a franchise-worst 2-14 in 2008 and holds the third overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Pioli has served in various roles with the Browns (1992-95), Ravens (1996), Jets (1997-2000) and Patriots (2001-2008). He has also coached in the college ranks with Syracuse (1988-89) and Murray State (1990-91).

Pioli has won executive of the year awards from different media outlets following the 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007 seasons.
