New Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has a whole range of issues and responsibilities he must take on and tackle successfully if he is to have a long-term stay at Stamford Bridge. The immediate challenge is to get the team firing again, picking up results and putting in performances that were lacking last season.
A 12th-placed finish in the Premier League and early exits from the domestic cups means there's plenty to improve upon, while a lack of European football may be a blessing in being able to make a push for a return to the continental competitions. A trimming of the squad has also been required this summer.
As many as 10 exits have already been confirmed from the first-team, with yet more moves still expected in the coming weeks. While there will likely be incomings, a huge part of Pochettino's medium-to-long-term task will also be making the most of some of the promising talent at the club and developing into the players they can become.
