Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas "hopes" Mauricio Pochettino proves the right appointment.

Pochettino was named new Chelsea manager on Monday.

Como midfielder Cesc told the Athletic: “I've met him a couple of times on holiday in Ibiza. I've played against him obviously when he was at Spurs and we've chatted after matches.

“I think he seems like a very reasonable man, very calm, that gives a lot of confidence to younger players and has a good structure and has a staff that he trusts so much.

“I hope he's the right man to bring back Chelsea to the position where they belong."
