EPL: Pochettino lists responsibilities he expects from Chelsea players

New Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has listed the responsibilities he expects from his players ahead of the new season.

Pochettino has been appointed the Blues’ next permanent manager after Graham Potter was sacked in April.

The former Tottenham and PSG boss takes over a team that finished the last season trophyless and in the 12th place.

Pochettino is keen to press the reset button at Stamford Bridge and has warned the squad that they have their roles to play.

He said: “We need to clean everything and say: “Come on, now it’s up to you. Show me that you are ready to play for this club”.

“You share responsibility. It’s not only the responsibility [of the coach] always to feel [their mood]. The player has the responsibility to try to adapt, have his own motivation and try to work really, really hard and let us manage.

“We need to create this platform for them to feel comfortable, to create the space for them to perform and improve.”
