Meet the backroom staff Mauricio Pochettino will bring with him to Chelsea: The assistant who convinced the Argentine to move to England, an Olympic champion, and his son who works as a sports scientist!

Mauricio Pochettino’s impending arrival as Chelsea manager will see the Argentine become the fourth man to lead the Blues in Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali's still fledging tenure as co-controlling owners.

The former Tottenham and PSG boss will take over Chelsea with the club at a low ebb, with the prospect of a first bottom half finish in the Premier League since 1996.

Pochettino will face a significant in-tray, including managing the bloated squad which contributed to Graham Potter’s departure last month, with interim Frank Lampard also unable to get a tune out of the club’s big-money arrivals.
