Mauricio Pochettino arrives at Chelsea with hugs for trusted coaching team and welcoming words

The Mauricio Pochettino era has arrived at Chelsea FC. The former Tottenham and PSG boss officially became the Blues' head coach on Saturday but entered Cobham on Monday morning ready to tackle his first day of pre-season with his new players.

Of course, not everyone will be present with the senior side having a plethora of return dates depending on whether they played international football.

The new Blues boss arrived in the car park of Chelsea's training ground joined by Jesus Perez and Sebastiano Pochettino. A member of Chelsea staff opened the door of his vehicle for Pochettino to greet him with affection before saying 'morning,' to a group of people unsurprisingly awaiting his arrival.
