Mauricio Pochettino is in for a difficult first day as the new Chelsea manager at Cobham training ground. The 51-year-old has been heavily linked with the vacant head coach position at Stamford Bridge for a while now, and he could be in for his toughest challenge yet.
football.london understands that Pochettino agreed a deal earlier this month to become the Blues' new manager at the end of the season. After weeks of positive talks, the two parties finally reached an agreement and he's expected to sign a three-year deal.
The former Tottenham boss will have a full pre-season to get his feet under the table and begin planning for next term. While the Argentine may be planning his first signing, the west Londoners' performance against Newcastle on the final day of the Premier League season proves his first port of call should be on training pitches at Cobham.
