Mauricio Pochettino has arrived at Chelsea Football Club for the first time after he was appointed as the Blues boss.

The Argentine tactician will officially resume his role as the new manager of the club after Frank Lampard's role as caretaker coach ended at the end of last season.

The former Paris Saint-Germain gaffer was spotted arriving at the club for the first time in a video that has surfaced on social media.

The ex-Spurs manager signed a two-year deal with an option to extend for a third.

Pochettino makes his return to the Premier League after he was sacked by Tottenham Hotspurs in 2019.

After a disappointing 2022/2023 campaign under Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, and Frank Lampard, Pochettino has been tipped to turn around the fortunes of the club.

Chelsea finished 12th in the Premier League last season and Pochettino is expected to restore the club to Champions League places next season.

The Blues will travel to the United States for their pre-season tour where they will engage Wrexham, Brighton, Newcastle United, Fulham, and Borussia Dortmund in friendlies.
