Mauricio Pochettino is the Chelsea boss. If it didn't feel real before then the images of him being paraded around Stamford Bridge with a Blues scarf and facing the media for the first time, more than a month after his appointment was announced, certainly cemented that feeling. The Blues head coach has been without a job for a year and has not managed in the Premier League since 2019.
Nevertheless, it is little surprise that his six-year stint with Tottenham will be firm in the memory of many. A time period Pochettino is proud of but not one that has stopped him from taking the reigns at their London rivals.
It should come as little surprise that, while the emphasis was Chelsea in his press conference, that it was not long before his former team was brought up and a certain former player. Chelsea struggled to find the net last season, scoring just 38 times in the Premier League, while Harry Kane had 30 strikes by himself for Spurs.
