Chelsea fans are all saying the same thing about Mauricio Pochettino's first day at the club
Chelsea fans are all saying the same thing about Mauricio Pochettino's first day at the club following his appointment.
Pochettino was appointed Chelsea manager last May as he signed a two-year contract, with the option of a further year.
It's his first managerial gig since being relieved of his duties at Paris Saint-Germain as he returns to the Premier League, having enjoyed spells at Southampton and Tottenham.
Todd Boehly and Chelsea fans alike will be hoping the Argentine can steer the club back to their glory days following a nightmare campaign last season.

The Blues finished in 12th place in the table, losing an incredible 16 league matches under the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.
Ahead of taking charge of the Stamford Bridge outfit, Pochettino has already impressed supporters online.
In a video shared on social media, the 51-year-old is seen arriving at the club and greeting and hugging various members of staff before walking into the building at Cobham.
He blew people away with his 'aura' and 'presence', with fans liking what they saw from their new gaffer.
One Twitter user wrote: "Aura," with fire emojis. "Pep be scared."
A second tweeted: "Nah man he’s that Mourinho kinda aura."
A third added: "He’s got a presence that Graham Potter didn’t have."
A fourth said: "If only you can see how I’m screaming; the Aura around him. My manager."
Another commented: "Insane aura but I'll be judging on his ability as a coach unfortunately."
Chelsea's pre-season gets underway this week before a trip to the US, where they face Wrexham and Borussia Dortmund.
Pochettino will take charge of his first competitive Chelsea game on August 13 when his side meet Liverpool on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
