Thomas Tuchel had little time to get his feet under the table at Chelsea before they were planted on the touchline for his first game in charge.
He described having his world 'turned upside down' in the last week as he was appointed as Frank Lampard's successor.
But one thing Tuchel was quick to do was to form a coaching staff that represents old and new for the players, a mix of some brought in under Lampard and those Tuchel has come to to trust at Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.
