Mauricio Pochettino was in good spirits as he made his return to Stamford Bridge just weeks after his departure from Chelsea.
Pochettino was dismissed as Chelsea boss on May 21 but he made a swift return to the home of the Blues as manager of the World XI at Soccer Aid.
The 52-year-old received a good reception from the crowd and responded by waving and blowing kisses to those in attendance.
Pochettino's Chelsea tenure lasted just 51 games, of which he won 26, drew 11 and lost 14.
Chelsea finished in sixth place in the Premier League last season, while they reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup and were runners up in the League Cup as they lost to Liverpool in the final.
