Mauricio Pochettino is getting down to work at Chelsea and has now had his first day as manager at the club's training base. As he attended Cobham as head coach, stepping out of an early morning taxi in his slick black attire, suited and booted himself for media work and getting settled in Surrey, a new era had started.
The Argentine spoke well in his first appearance in front of the cameras and has impressed fans that may have been either uncertain of his appointment or sceptical of the club's direction. Having been rudderless for too long, he is a flagship appointment for New Chelsea.
What he will miss, even when his team arrive for pre-season training in the coming week, is a reliable source of goals. In his squad the top scorer for Chelsea is very possibly going to be Reece James. From right-back he has 11 goals. Even though James is one of the best players in his position in the world, it is a staggering feat of attacking incompetence that has lead to this point.
