New boss vows to deliver from day one, win the trust of Chelsea's demanding owners

POCH TO HIT GROUND RUNNING

LONDON - Mauricio Pochettino admitted he has to deliver from "day one", as Chelsea's new manager vowed to win the trust of the troubled club's demanding owners.

Pochettino used his first press conference, since being hired in May on a two-year deal with the option of a third, to make it clear he understands the size of the task facing him at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentinian arrives in west London to find a club in crisis after the 2021 Champions League winners ended last season 12th in the English Premier League - their first bottom-half finish since 1996 - and missed out on European competition altogether.

Chelsea, who last won the league title in 2017, went through four managers last season and failed to win a trophy despite a £550 million (S$950.3 million) spending spree on new players.

Pochettino faces a tough job to restore the club to their former glory and the ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss knows he has to hit the ground running.

"In football, there is no patience. It is difficult to wait. If you are at Chelsea it is not about asking for time, you need to deliver from day one," he said.
