Who are Mauricio Pochettino's backroom team? Jesus Perez, Toni Jimenez and who will join Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino has been named as Chelsea's new head coach on a two-year contract. After weeks of speculation, the cat is finally out of the bag and the former Spurs boss will take over as Chelsea head coach on July 1.

The Argentine coach brings with him a core group of staff he has worked with before. The 51-year-old former Tottenham and PSG chief is known to negotiate the contracts of his staff before his own and enjoys a close relationship with coaches who have been with him, to the extent one of them is his son. Pochettino has lived in the same hotels and remained close in more permanent accommodation, to ensure an intense bond between the group as they bid to drive the team they are at to the top.

Jesus Perez, Miguel D’Agostino, Sebastiano Pochettino and Toni Jimenez are all set to take up employment with the Blues. football.london takes a look at what each could bring.
